The Israel Defense Forces said Monday it targeted three Hezbollah command posts in southern Lebanon, in response to attacks that wounded Israeli soldiers and killed Capt. David Hazut. The strikes hit in the Nabatieh and Mayfadoun areas, according to the military.
The IDF confirmed on Monday morning that it struck three Hezbollah command centers in southern Lebanon as a direct response to recent attacks that wounded Israeli soldiers and killed Capt. David Hazut, a Golani Brigade platoon commander who fell in an earlier clash.
The strikes targeted infrastructure in the Nabatieh and Mayfadoun areas, which the military described as operational command posts used by Hezbollah. The IDF's announcement frames the operation as a response to continued ceasefire violations, including gunfire directed at Israeli troops in the Security Zone.
The incident follows a series of exchanges along the southern Lebanon border. As The Zioneer reported on June 25 and 26, Israeli forces have engaged Hezbollah cells in the area, with multiple operatives killed. Earlier, on June 28, the IDF confirmed that the operative who killed Capt. Hazut was tracked down and eliminated. The strikes on Monday mark the most significant IDF retaliation in the current round of violations, hitting command-level infrastructure rather than individual cells.
No further details on damage or casualties among Hezbollah personnel were provided by the military. The IDF said the operation was deliberate and targeted, not a broader escalation.
