The Israeli Air Force, acting on guidance from the Egoz commando unit, struck and killed a number of Hezbollah operatives armed with RPGs who were threatening Israeli forces operating in southern Lebanon. The military also destroyed the building the squad was using, with the stated aim of removing the threat to troops.
This incident follows a series of engagements by the Egoz unit against Hezbollah cells in the same area over recent days. As The Zioneer reported earlier this morning (Sunday, 07:11 Jerusalem time), Egoz operatives eliminated 'not a few' Hezbollah fighters near Israeli positions; and at 07:02 Jerusalem time, Egoz-guided airstrikes hit an RPG team near Nabatieh. Sunday's strikes continue what the IDF describes as tactical operations to keep Hezbollah fighters at a distance from troops along the Security Zone and the southern Lebanon front.
No casualty figures for this specific strike have been released. The source is a single source repeating official IDF reports.
