IDF: Hezbollah Underground Terrorist Infrastructure Was Destroyed in Southern Lebanon

The troops of the 646th Brigade, under the command of the 146th Division, are conducting limited, localized, targeted ground raids based on precise intelligence in southern Lebanon.

So far, the troops have destroyed dozens of military structures and assembly sites belonging to the Hezbollah terrorist organization, eliminated terrorists with guidance of Israeli Air Force aircraft, and located numerous weapons and terrorist infrastructure.

IDF: As of 15:00, approximately 40 projectiles that were fired by the Hezbollah terrorist organization have crossed from Lebanon into Israel today (Tuesday, November 5th).

The IDF will continue to defend the State of Israel and its people against the threat posed by the Hezbollah terrorist organization.


IDF: A short while ago, the IAF conducted an intelligence-based strike on weapons storage facilities used by Hezbollah’s munitions unit in the area of Al Qusayr in Syria.

Hezbollah’s munitions unit is responsible for the storage of weapons in Lebanon and has recently expanded its activities into Syria in the area of Al Qusayr, near the Syria-Lebanon border. This is a further example of Hezbollah establishing logistical infrastructure to transfer weapons from Syria to Lebanon through smuggling routes.

Hezbollah, with the support of the Syrian regime, continues to endanger the safety of civilians by establishing its terrorist infrastructure within civilian areas.


IDF: Following the sirens that sounded a short while ago in the Arava area, the IAF intercepted a UAV that infiltrated into Israeli territory from the east. No injuries were reported.

Additionally, a short while ago, the IAF intercepted another UAV that was launched from the east and was approaching Israeli territory.
The UAV was intercepted prior to crossing into Israeli territory.
