Israeli PM Netanyahu says he ordered the IDF to strike Hezbollah "with force" following yesterday's attack that killed Lt. Col. Dor Gedalia Ben Shimhon and three other soldiers - calling it a blatant ceasefire violation.
The IDF hit over 80 terror targets, eliminated dozens of operatives, and struck Hezbollah command posts in the Bekaa Valley this morning.
Netanyahu: "Israel will not tolerate attacks on our soldiers or our territory and will exact a very heavy price from Hezbollah." He added Israel will remain in the security zone in southern Lebanon as long as necessary to protect villages in the North.
Footage of Israeli airstrikes targeting Hezbollah positions across southern Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley overnight, after the IDF said it struck more than 80 sites in response to repeated ceasefire violations.
The IDF struck more than 80 Hezbollah targets across southern Lebanon overnight, including headquarters, launch positions, and terror infrastructure in the Nabatieh area and beyond. Two command centers in the Bekaa Valley were also hit. Dozens of Hezbollah operatives were eliminated. The military said the strikes were a response to repeated ceasefire violations.
The battle against Hezbollah in the north is being managed, and I must tell you that there are very impressive results here.
Our forces have crossed the Litani, they have ascended to the dominant terrain, and we are also operating in Beirut, operating in the Bekaa, across the entire width of the front, and striking Hezbollah decisively.
Prime Minister Netanyahu at the 36th Division on the northern border:
"Our forces crossed the Litani and advanced to the controlling areas. We are operating in Beirut, in the Bekaa, across the entire front and striking Hezbollah hard."
IDF hit over 135 Hezbollah targets in Tyre, the Bekaa Valley, and southern Lebanon over the last 24 hours. Released footage shows a squad eliminated after exiting a launch site in Tyre.
IDF hit near the Qaraoun dam in the Bekaa Valley on Tuesday. The Litani River Authority said the strike landed about 500 meters from the previous one, throwing stones and debris into the lake. No damage to the dam itself.
IDF: Over 100 Hezbollah targets struck overnight in Lebanon's Beqaa Valley and the south. Weapons depots, command centers, and observation posts hit. Operatives killed near Mashghara in rapid successive strikes.
The IDF says it has launched airstrikes on Hezbollah military positions in the Beqaa Valley and across Lebanon. Evacuations are reported in Beirut's southern suburbs in anticipation of further strikes, per Lebanese Al-Jadeed.
"You could go tomorrow and conquer all of Lebanon, including the Bekaa Valley, including Beirut. But that has consequences. If we had six or seven armies and not just one IDF, maybe we would do more."
