The IDF struck Hezbollah terror infrastructure in southern Lebanon, including a network of tunnels, the IDF confirmed Thursday afternoon.
The IDF struck Hezbollah terrorists, weapons, and tunnel shafts, which were part of a significant underground project that, due to IDF strikes, has been rendered inoperable. The military said that these sites are in direct violation of the understanding between Lebanon and Israel.
Israel conducted 14 strikes in the Nabatieh area, two Lebanese security sources told Reuters, in one of Israel's most intense bombardments since a ceasefire brokered by the US in November.
On Tuesday, the IDF said that Hezbollah's Bader Unit commander, terrorist Adnan Muhammad Sadiq Harb, was killed by an Israeli air force strike in the same area.
As part of his role, he advanced the rehabilitation of Hezbollah's terrorist capabilities and assisted in efforts to rehabilitate terrorist infrastructure south of the Litani River. He also transferred weapons to different Hezbollah units across Lebanese territory.
In April, Israel struck a southern Beirut building that it said it was being used to store precision missiles belonging to the Iran-backed Hezbollah group.
Ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon
Lebanon and Hezbollah had agreed to a ceasefire in November, which halted the fighting and mandated that southern Lebanon be free of Hezbollah fighters and weapons.
This is a developing story.
