The Lebanese group Hezbollah announced Tuesday night that two of its operatives were killed earlier today in an Israeli military strike on the village of Mipidon (Mifdoun) in southern Lebanon. The statement, released via the organization's media channels, did not specify the operatives' roles, the target of the strike, or whether any other individuals were hit. The IDF has not yet commented on the report.
Hezbollah announced late Tuesday that an IDF strike on the village of Mipidon in southern Lebanon earlier in the day killed two of its operatives. The group's brief statement, cited by Israeli analyst Yair Goldblatt, did not name the operatives or specify whether they were targeted in a vehicle strike, a house strike, or an aerial attack.
The announcement comes amid an ongoing Israeli campaign focused on degrading Hezbollah's military capabilities along the border and deeper inside Lebanese territory. As The Zioneer has previously reported, IDF operations have included dozens of strikes on Hezbollah infrastructure and personnel in southern Lebanon. The village of Mipidon lies in the southern district of Nabatieh, an area that has seen repeated Israeli strikes on Hezbollah units since the ceasefire framework collapsed earlier this year.
The report is based on a single source — Hezbollah's own statement — and has not been independently verified. The IDF has not issued a confirmation or denial. Casualty claims by the organization are sometimes unreliable; the number of operatives killed may be updated as additional information emerges.
