Israel Launches Massive Strikes on Hezbollah Terrorists as Iran Ceasefire Takes Hold
The IDF confirms carrying out the “largest coordinated strike across Lebanon since the start of Operation Roaring Lion.”
With a two-week ceasefire with Iran coming into effect, the Israeli military is consolidating its gains against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.
“Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said overnight that the ceasefire suspending the six-week-old U.S.-Israeli war against Iran did not apply to Lebanon, and the Israeli military said it was continuing its operations against Hezbollah there,” Reuters reported.
Despite Iran’s demand to extend the ceasefire to its terror proxy in Lebanon, the IDF is committed to flushing out Hezbollah terrorists and dismantling their infrastructure along its northern border.
Israel wants to position troops in southern Lebanon “up to the Litani River as part of a ‘security zone,’ it says is aimed at protecting its own northern residents,” the news agency noted.
As part of this forward deployment, the IDF took a strategic ridge in southern Lebanon used by Hezbollah to direct fire at Israeli civilians and troops.
“The Israeli military said on Tuesday it had completed deployment of ground troops along a strategic ridge in southern Lebanon from which Hezbollah could fire anti-tank guided missiles directly at Israeli communities,” The Times of Israel reported Wednesday. “The so-called anti-tank line is located several kilometers deep in southern Lebanon. Hezbollah’s anti-tank missiles have an estimated range of around 10 kilometers.”

Israel, on Wednesday, conducted a missive aerial offensive against Hezbollah command structure and terrorist infrastructure inside Lebanon.
The IDF confirmed that it had carried out “largest coordinated strike across Lebanon since the start of Operation Roaring Lion.”
“The targets struck included Hezbollah headquarters, military arrays, and command-and-control centers,” the IDF disclosed.
Update: Iran has threaten to break the ceasefire and resume hostilities against Israel in response to IDF’s ongoing operation against Hezbollah terrorists, regime media sources claim.

Ahead of the ceasefire, the Israeli Air Force carried out waves of strikes against military and terrorist targets in Iran. The “IDF conducted a wide-scale wave of strikes targeting missile launch sites and launchers of the Iranian terror regime across Iran, in order to significantly degrade and neutralize its launching capabilities.”
“During the strikes, Israeli Air Force fighter jets, acting on IDF intelligence, struck dozens of launch sites – thereby thwarting a broader planned ballistic missile barrage aimed at the State of Israel,” the military revealed.

IDF eliminates top Hamas bomb-maker in Gaza strike
Despite a ceasefire with Iran, Israel faces Iranian terrorist proxies on multiple fronts. The IDF continued counter-terrorist operations against Hamas in Gaza, eliminating its top bomb maker.
On Monday, “IDF troops struck and eliminated, in the northern Gaza Strip, the terrorist Muhammad Dawad, an expert in engineering and producing explosive devices in the Hamas terrorist organization,” the Israeli military announced.
“During the war, Dawad was responsible for the production of explosive devices and served as a central knowledge authority for the execution of terrorist attacks. The terrorist posed an immediate threat to IDF troops and was eliminated in a targeted strike,” the military added. “Accordingly, the terrorist led and carried out dozens of terrorist attacks against IDF troops.”

the left no matter where they are ,operate out of schools hospitals etc so shelling the areas is job 1 before sending in anyone to cleanup
the left is evil
Keep it up, Bibi. Israel needs perseverance on this.
I’ve said repeatedly, that as a moral and tactical matter, Israel should fairly take and keep territory every time the evil Islamofascists/Muslim terrorists in Gaza and Lebanon, fire missiles at it. Make these pukes lose territory, every time they engage in terrorism.
No quarter!
They should definitely take that strip in Lebanon. The government there and the UN has shown they are unable or unwilling to keep the terrorists out even though they are supposed to by agreement. They failed and losing this bit of land is the price of that failure.
I hope Iran does break the ceasefire.
Maybe then we finish the job.
I agree partially. I hope the ceasefire holds until we can make sure Iran makes war no more but, if they renounce it, then blow up everything except Kharg. Give that to the Gulf states so they can keep the Iranians in control.
.
So Iran is admitting Hezbollah is part of their armed forces, and that they consider Lebanon their territory?
So it appears.
.
My thoughts exactly. Finally they admit it! Tsk tsk.
“Iran is preparing operations against Israeli targets in response to the ceasefire violations in Lebanon”
Iran ought to focus on rebuilding their own country instead of tearing down other people’s countries.
I called this yesterday. The ceasefire didn’t include Hezbollah, so it gave the IDF the opportunity to turn its full fury on Hezb in the meantime.
Hezbollah would give a “thumbs up” to their patrons… but can’t
