The IDF attacked a group of Hezbollah operatives who were transferring weapons within the security zone in southern Lebanon, according to journalist Nitzan Shapira. Secondary explosions were observed after the strike, indicating the presence of weapons in the building.
The IDF struck Hezbollah operatives transferring weapons inside the security zone in southern Lebanon this evening, with journalist Nitzan Shapira reporting secondary explosions after the strike that confirmed the presence of arms. The attack, which occurred minutes ago, marks the latest in a series of IDF actions against Hezbollah weapons movements in the buffer zone.
At 20:02 Jerusalem, the IDF first reported the strike, stating it identified Hezbollah operatives moving anti-tank missiles into a structure in the al-Mansouri area and struck them from the air, with secondary explosions confirming the weapons cache. Minutes later, the military released additional details and video footage of the airstrike and the secondary explosions. The Zioneer's thread now includes five versions of the incident, all timed at 20:02, showing the rapid escalation of information from initial IDF report through video confirmation.
As The Zioneer reported on June 25, an IDF drone strike killed two Hezbollah operatives near Tibnah in southern Lebanon, and on June 26, the IDF released footage of a strike that killed seven operatives transferring weapons. These incidents are part of intensified Israeli operations following Hezbollah ceasefire violations, including a June 19 tank ambush that killed four Israeli soldiers, prompting Defense Minister Katz to vow a decisive response.
No casualties have been reported from this evening's strike, and the number of operatives hit remains unspecified. The journalist's report independently corroborates the IDF's account of secondary explosions, though the exact weapons destroyed have not been detailed beyond the initial description of anti-tank missiles.
