The IDF released footage of a strike that killed seven Hezbollah operatives transferring weapons near Israeli forces in southern Lebanon, according to an Israeli military report. The operatives were struck as they moved arms in proximity to troops, the report states.
The IDF released video footage Friday afternoon showing the elimination of seven Hezbollah operatives who were transferring weapons near Israeli forces in southern Lebanon, the military reported. The operatives were struck in the act of moving arms and ammunition in proximity to IDF troops, according to the report.
This operation follows closely on a bulletin from moments earlier — at 15:48 Jerusalem — in which the IDF confirmed it had eliminated seven Hezbollah terrorists transferring weapons into a structure in the El Manzala area used as a combat and observation post near the Security Zone. The new footage corroborates that same event, providing visual documentation. The troops' safety was the stated rationale for the strike.
Hezbollah operatives are a familiar target in southern Lebanon, where the IDF has conducted dozens of strikes since the ceasefire, eliminating field commanders and operatives near the border. The footage adds weight to the single-source report; no independent corroboration of the video's contents was available by 16:00.
