TL;DR

The IDF released further details Monday of the 401st Brigade's operational takeover of the southern Lebanon village of Hadatha over the past month.

01 · THE DISPATCH

The IDF on Monday disclosed detailed results of the 401st Brigade's month-long operation in the village of Hadatha, located in the security zone of southern Lebanon. The announcement, which comes after the military previously reported operational control over the area two minutes earlier, specifies that more than 90 terrorist infrastructure sites were destroyed, over 20 Hezbollah operatives were eliminated, and over 150 weapons were recovered — including RPG rockets, anti-tank missiles, machine guns, and Kalashnikov rifles.

As The Zioneer reported at 11:02, the brigade operating under the 91st Division had completed establishing operational control over Hadatha. Hezbollah had used the village as a focal point for activity in the area. The IDF's latest figures provide a fuller accounting of the operation's scale, though no specific timeline for each phase of the clearance was released.
