IDF Destroys Over 600 Hezbollah Terror Infrastructure Sites in Southern Lebanon

The Israeli military has conducted a significant operation in southern Lebanon, destroying more than 600 Hezbollah terror infrastructure sites near the village of Al-Mansouri. The operation, carried out by the 55th Brigade Combat Team under the command of the Galilee Division, aimed to neutralize immediate threats to Israel and prevent Hezbollah's re-establishment in the area.

During the complex operation, forces, aided by the Yahalom engineering unit, uncovered and destroyed eight underground tunnel routes. One notable tunnel was found to be constructed within a civilian residence in the village. Additionally, dozens of rocket launchers, pre-dating the current ceasefire agreement, were discovered and neutralized in the security zone.

In parallel, Air Force Commander Major General Omer Tishler conducted an operational tour of the Beaufort area in southern Lebanon. He was accompanied by senior officers, including the commander of the Cooperation Unit, Colonel A., and commanders from the 36th Division, such as the commander of the Golani Brigade, Colonel Ayub Kiof, and the commander of the 7th Brigade, Colonel Sh'. They received updates on the ongoing operations in the sector.

The ground operations are supported by intensive air cover. Since the beginning of the month, the Air Force has dropped approximately 700 munitions in Lebanon and Gaza, with the majority targeting defensive areas in southern Lebanon. The Air Force is engaged in defensive combat in both arenas, providing close support to ground forces to maintain security stability and prevent the rebuilding of terror infrastructure.
