The IDF said over the past week the Air Force, directed by Northern Command field units, struck approximately 310 Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon and eliminated roughly 80 operatives. The figures, released in the military's weekly operational summary, also include the elimination of five senior terrorists in Gaza and more than 50 arrests in Judea and Samaria.
The IDF published its weekly operational summary on Thursday morning, detailing sustained military pressure across three arenas.
In southern Lebanon over the past seven days, the Israeli Air Force—guided by Northern Command ground units—struck roughly 310 Hezbollah targets and killed approximately 80 operatives. Ground troops continued work along the forward defense line, dismantling terrorist infrastructure and neutralizing threats to Israeli civilians and military personnel.
The weekly figures mark a reduction from the previous week's tally: as The Zioneer reported on June 5, the IDF had struck 650 Hezbollah targets and eliminated over 125 operatives in Lebanon the week prior. The decline may reflect a shift in operational tempo as ground forces consolidate gains along the forward line rather than conducting broad aerial campaigns.
In Gaza, the IDF eliminated five significant terrorists, including senior Islamic Jihad figures and the head of a Hamas funds transfer network. Over 20 terrorists were killed overall. In Judea and Samaria, more than 50 wanted suspects were apprehended, and approximately 250,000 shekels earmarked for terrorism were seized along with weapons and military equipment.
The IDF confirmed that the operations spanned the Northern, Southern, and Central Commands, with continued activity to thwart smuggling along Israel's eastern and western borders.
