The IDF says it struck Hezbollah terrorists who were transferring weapons within the security zone in southern Lebanon. No further details on casualties or the extent of the strike have been released.
The IDF confirmed on Saturday evening that it struck Hezbollah operatives transferring weapons within the security zone in southern Lebanon. The confirmation comes after earlier reports detailed the sequence of the strike, which occurred earlier in the night.
Earlier tonight (Sat 20:33 Jerusalem), The Zioneer reported that Division 91 forces identified Hezbollah operatives unloading anti-tank missiles from a vehicle and moving them into a building in the security zone. After additional operatives brought more weapons into the structure, the military struck from the air, triggering secondary explosions that confirmed the presence of an arms cache. The initial report indicated the destruction of a Hezbollah cell and large amounts of ammunition, with secondary explosions verifying the weapons cache.
The security zone in southern Lebanon, a buffer area inside Lebanese territory, has been a focal point of Israeli military operations. As The Zioneer reported on June 15, Hezbollah continued shelling Israeli troops in the area despite an announced agreement, prompting the IDF to strike approaching terrorists. The current strike reflects ongoing efforts to prevent weapons transfers and infrastructure buildup by the Iran-backed group.
No details have been released regarding casualties among the operatives or the specific location of the strike within the security zone. The IDF has not commented on the extent of damage or whether any weapons were recovered.
