401st Brigade Combat Team completes 8-month mission in southern Lebanon

The 401st Brigade Combat Team has completed its mission in southern Lebanon after eight months of activity, according to a report by Nitzan Shapira on Channel 12. No further details on the scope of the operation or next steps were provided.

The announcement marks the latest milestone in the IDF's sustained ground operation in southern Lebanon, which has seen multiple brigades rotate through the area. The 401st Brigade Combat Team, an armored unit, was deployed to dismantle Hezbollah infrastructure and secure border communities. Earlier, the Givati Brigade completed its own mission in the sector on July 2. The completion of the 401st's mission follows eight months of continuous activity, though the military has not disclosed whether the unit will be redeployed or if the operation is transitioning to a new phase.
