The Israel Defense Forces said its troops from the 869th Combat Intelligence Collection Unit spotted three armed Hezbollah operatives inside the military's buffer zone near Beit Yahoun in southern Lebanon this evening. Forces from the 401st Armored Brigade then carried out a strike, killing all three to eliminate the threat, according to the military.
The IDF provided additional details on the elimination of three armed Hezbollah operatives in the Beit Yahoun area of southern Lebanon this evening, a follow-up to an earlier confirmation. The military stated that the 869th Combat Intelligence Collection Unit identified the gunmen inside the Israeli buffer zone, and the 401st Armored Brigade conducted a strike that killed them.
As The Zioneer reported at 21:39 Jerusalem, the IDF confirmed the elimination earlier. The new disclosure specifies the units involved and the precise location in the buffer zone. The operation is part of ongoing Israeli efforts to enforce the security zone and prevent Hezbollah from approaching forces.
Beit Yahoun has been a focal point of recent clashes. On June 26, The Zioneer reported that four IDF soldiers were wounded by a Hezbollah grenade in the same area. The latest incident underscores the continued volatility along the Lebanon border despite the ceasefire framework.
