IDF: A Hezbollah Terrorist Training Center Found Some 200 Meters From a UNIFIL Post

For the past few weeks, troops of the 9th Reserve Brigade have been conducting limited, localized, targeted raids based on precise intelligence in southern Lebanon, eliminating terrorists, locating weapons, and dismantling Hezbollah’s terror infrastructure and underground infrastructure.

In one of the raids, the troops located a Hezbollah terrorist training center located approximately 200 meters from a UNIFIL base. The compound was used by terrorists for training, studying, and storing large quantities of weapons. The facility contained launchers prepared for firing at Israeli communities.

IDF troops also found documents and instructional books detailing Hezbollah’s operational methods, maps of Israel, explanations of IDF equipment, as well as tunnel shafts and additional weapons. The weapons were confiscated, and the compound was dismantled.

IDF: A short while ago, sirens were sounded in the Western Galilee and Upper Galilee areas following the identification of several suspicious aerial targets that crossed from Lebanon into Israeli territory.
The targets are monitored by the IAF and the incident is still ongoing.
The public is asked to continue to follow the defensive guidelines of the Home Front Command.


Joint IDF and COGAT announcement:

In accordance with directive from the political echelon and as part of the effort to increase the volume and routes of aid to the Gaza Strip, the IDF via COGAT and the Southern Command, is preparing to open the Kissufim crossing.

The introduction of humanitarian aid through the Kissufim crossing was made possible following engineering work carried out in the area over recent weeks by the IDF Gaza Division’s engineering unit, the Southern Command’s engineering unit, and the Southern Brigade forces.

As part of the work, the forces built inspection facilities and protective infrastructure, and paved roads both in Israeli territory and within the Gaza Strip to allow the transfer of aid to the southern part of the Strip. This was done while ensuring the safety of the Israeli communities along the border with the Gaza Strip.

IDF: Over the past day, the launchers from which projectiles were fired from Lebanon toward Acre and Ahihud earlier today were struck by the IAF.

This evening, the IAF conducted intelligence-based strikes on Hezbollah command centers from which Hezbollah commanders and terrorists were operating, in a civilian area near the city of Tyre in southern Lebanon.

Hezbollah systematically takes control of civilian areas and infrastructures throughout the country and embeds commanders and operatives in civilian areas in order to plan and carry out terror attacks, putting Lebanese civilians in harms way.

Over the past day, IDF troops eliminated dozens of terrorists in southern Lebanon.
In addition, numerous weapons storage facilities and terrorist infrastructure were struck in southern Lebanon.

These strikes are part of the IDF’s continuous efforts to dismantle and degrade Hezbollah’s capabilities and restrict the organization’s ability to restore them.
