The IDF says it struck over 80 Hezbollah targets, including two command headquarters in the Bekaa Valley, and killed dozens of operatives in response to repeated ceasefire violations. The military said the strikes targeted positions in the Nabatieh area and beyond the security zone in southern Lebanon. Ground forces continue operations in the Beaufort area, focusing on destroying strategic underground infrastructure built by Hezbollah.
This morning, the IDF announced it had struck over 80 Hezbollah targets and eliminated dozens of operatives in southern Lebanon since overnight, in what appears to be a large-scale response to continued violations of the November ceasefire. The military specified that among the targets were two Hezbollah command headquarters in the Bekaa Valley, struck while operatives were present, and additional infrastructure sites in the Nabatieh area and beyond the security zone. The statement did not break down the exact timeline or locations of all strikes.
Ground forces are now operating to destroy strategic underground infrastructure in the Beaufort area, the IDF said Friday — an element first reported in this update. This follows a wave of strikes in recent days: as The Zioneer reported Friday at 09:20 Jerusalem, the military confirmed striking 80+ targets and killing dozens of operatives. Days earlier, the IDF reported striking over 70 Hezbollah infrastructure sites and eliminating seven operatives from an underground route, with the military also revealing a systematic pattern of field commanders being killed and replaced (The Zioneer, Sun Jun 14, 00:06 Jerusalem).
Israeli ground forces remain in the southern Lebanon security zone, with the IDF emphasizing ongoing efforts to destroy strategic underground infrastructure Hezbollah built over years near the Beaufort area. The military said the strikes were carried out in direct response to repeated Hezbollah ceasefire violations. No information was provided on casualties on the Israeli side or on any immediate Hezbollah retaliation.
