A security analyst reported Monday evening that the Israeli military is carrying out building demolitions in the Shiite village of Hadatha in southern Lebanon. The IDF earlier in the day said its month-long operation in the area had concluded, with over 90 terror sites destroyed and 150 weapons seized. The demolitions report is unverified and from a single source.
Monday evening, a security analyst reported that the IDF is currently conducting building demolitions in the village of Hadatha, southern Lebanon. The report, attributed to Yair Goldblatt, a security and Middle East analyst, is unverified and comes from a single source. It is not clear whether the demolitions represent a new phase of operations or are related to the month-long operation the IDF said it had concluded earlier Monday.
The IDF's official announcement at 11:00 Jerusalem time stated that the 401st Brigade Combat Team had achieved operational control over Hadatha over the past month, destroying over 90 terrorist infrastructure sites, eliminating more than 20 Hezbollah operatives, and seizing over 150 weapons. The military described the area as a "hub of terror activity" for Hezbollah.
The Zioneer reported on the IDF announcement at 11:31 (IDF: 150+ weapons seized, 90+ terror sites destroyed in southern Lebanon's Hadatha). The new demolition report, if confirmed, would indicate continued IDF activity in the area despite the earlier statement of concluded operations. The IDF has not commented on the report. Similar demolitions of suspected Hezbollah infrastructure have been conducted in other villages in southern Lebanon, as The Zioneer has previously reported.
