The IDF says it carried out a special operation in southern Lebanon just minutes before the ceasefire with Hezbollah took effect. The IAF's elite Shaldag unit landed at Cristofani Ridge, several kilometers north of Mount Hermon, and established control of the strategic position.

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir approved the raid and observed the operation alongside IAF chief Maj. Gen. Tomer Bar from the IAF's command center.
