IDF Updates – November 13th

IDF: The IDF Struck Launchers in Lebanon Used to Fire at Cities in Central and Northern Israel; IDF and ISA Continue Operations in Gaza Against Terrorists Who Participated in the October 7th Massacre

Yesterday (Tuesday), Hezbollah launched numerous projectiles toward central and northern Israel. Following the attack, the IDF struck dozens of launchers in Lebanon, including the launcher used to fire at cities in central Israel and Nahariya yesterday.

IDF troops are continuing to conduct limited, localized, targeted operations in southern Lebanon against additional Hezbollah terror targets. They conducted defensive and offensive missions in the area, eliminating terrorists, locating weapons, and dismantling terrorist infrastructure. The troops also located underground infrastructure with hideouts and equipment storage areas.

With the direction of ISA intelligence, the IDF struck a terrorist cell in Shejaiya in the Gaza Strip. One of the members of the cell was Yasser Ghandi, who invaded into Israel territory on October 7th and took part in the massacre.

Over the past day, the IAF struck over 120 Hamas and Hezbollah terror targets in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon.

IDF: Overnight, the IAF conducted intelligence-based strikes on Hezbollah weapons storage facilities and command centers in the Dahieh area, a key Hezbollah terrorist stronghold in Beirut, where Hezbollah systematically embedded its terrorist infrastructure behind the Lebanese civilian population.

Prior to the strikes, numerous steps were taken to mitigate the risk to civilians, including issuing advance warnings to the population in the area.

These strikes were a part of the IDF’s ongoing efforts to dismantle and degrade Hezbollah’s military capabilities, and the IDF is continuing to strike Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure sites in the Dahieh area.


IDF: A short while ago, the IAF intercepted a UAV that was approaching Israeli territory from Lebanon.
The UAV was intercepted prior to crossing into Israeli territory, sirens did not sound in accordance with protocol.


IDF: The IDF eliminated the Hezbollah Field Commanders of Khiam, Tebnit, and Ghajar, and the anti-tank missile Commander of the Hajir area

At the beginning of the month of October, the IAF struck and eliminated Hezbollah’s Commander of the Khiam area, Muhammad Musa Salah, in the area of Khiam. Salah directed many terror attacks against the State of Israel, and was responsible for the launches of more than 2,500 projectiles toward the areas of the Golan Heights, the Upper Galilee, the Galilee Panhandle, and toward IDF troops operating in southern Lebanon.

During an additional strike this week (Sunday) in southern Lebanon, the terrorist Ayman Muhammad Nabulsi, the incoming commander of the ‘Nasser’ Unit’s anti-tank missile array in Hajir, was eliminated.

Furthermore, during additional precise strikes, the IDF eliminated the Hezbollah commander of the Ghajar area, as well as the terrorist Hajj Ali Yussef Salah, who served as the Hezbollah commander of the Tebnit area.

This further degrades Hezbollah’s capability to carry out terror attacks from southern Lebanon against Israeli civilians on the northern border. The IDF will continue to operate to thwart any danger or threat against the State of Israel.

Israeli Navy Operates Against Hezbollah UAVs and Terrorists in Lebanon, IAF Targets Hezbollah Naval Unit’s Main Base

IDF operations against the Hezbollah terrorist organization continue in the air, on the ground and at sea, the Israeli Navy has been carrying out defensive and offensive missions in the maritime arena.

In an operation led by the Intelligence Division of the Israeli Navy, IAF fighter jets struck the central base of Hezbollah’s naval unit in Beirut. The base was used as a central operations hub in which dozens of the unit’s vessels were stored and training was carried out, with the goal of damaging naval and strategic assets in Israel’s maritime space.

Israeli Navy vessels, guided by ISA intelligence, eliminated the terrorist Saeed Alaa Naif Ali, a senior operative in Hamas’ military wing in Lebanon. Ali led terrorist attacks against Israel and worked to recruit operatives for the Hamas terrorist organization in Lebanon. In another strike, Ali Barakat, a Hezbollah terrorist in the organization’s aerial unit (Unit 127), was eliminated.

The strikes were directed by the Israeli Navy’s fire control center, which guides the offensive effort in close cooperation with the Northern Command, the Israeli Air Force and the Intelligence Directorate.
Alongside their offensive efforts, the Israeli Navy troops continue in their defense missions in the different arenas.
