The IDF says its main effort in southern Lebanon is the destruction of an underground Hezbollah compound. The announcement extends a continuing campaign against the group's fortified infrastructure near the border.
The IDF announced Sunday that its main operational effort in southern Lebanon is the destruction of a fortified underground compound belonging to Hezbollah. The announcement, carried on the military's official channels, did not specify the exact location or timing of the operation.
The announcement comes amid a sustained campaign against Hezbollah infrastructure in the region. On Sunday morning, reports indicated the IDF was actively striking Hezbollah targets across southern Lebanon. Earlier on June 13, footage was released showing the elimination of Hezbollah operatives. A similar bulletin on June 11 noted the IDF was focusing on infrastructure and operatives, with a correspondent assessing the tempo as "relatively restrained" but with potential for escalation.
The destruction of underground compounds, which Hezbollah uses for command, storage, and troop movement, has been a recurring theme in recent weeks. Minister Ze'ev Elkin stated on June 8 that the IDF is systematically destroying Hezbollah infrastructure in the area. The current operation reinforces that pattern, though the full extent of the compound's role and the method of destruction remain unconfirmed by independent sources.
