The IDF struck targets deep inside Lebanon minutes ago, killing three operatives, the military says. Since midnight, at least 30 operatives have been killed by Israeli forces, according to an IDF statement. Details on the locations and identities of those killed have not been released.
The IDF announced it killed three operatives in strikes deep inside Lebanon moments ago, adding that at least 30 enemy combatants have been eliminated since midnight. The brief military statement did not specify the precise locations, the nature of the targets, or the identities of those killed.
This fresh wave of strikes — the third reported today — follows a day of heavy exchanges. As The Zioneer reported at 12:16 Jerusalem, Israeli airstrikes killed more than a dozen people across Lebanon this morning, and earlier reports from the Lebanese Health Ministry, which the desk covered at 11:05, put the overnight toll at 18 killed and 33 wounded in southern Lebanon. The IDF has not commented on the cumulative toll from today's operations.
The current figures are from an official military source and update the running count of an air and ground campaign that, as of Friday, had cost at least 30 soldiers' lives and more than 1,300 wounded since fighting resumed in early March. What remains unconfirmed: whether today's deeper strikes signal an expansion of the targeting zone beyond the southern border region, and the distinction between combatant and civilian casualties in areas hit well north of the Litani River.
