The Times of Israel adds:
The IDF confirmed Sunday morning that it had killed four members of Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force in an Arclight airstrike

on Saturday night. A fifth Hezbollah officer was killed Friday.

Under the November 27 ceasefire deal, which followed over a year of hostilities, Hezbollah was required to vacate southern Lebanon and be replaced by the Lebanese military. Israel, which invaded Lebanon late September last year, was also required to withdraw, but regularly strikes what it says are Hezbollah targets breaching the ceasefire, and maintains a troop presence in five strategic locations.

On Sunday, Egypt stated its support for Beirut’s position, with Egyptian Prime Minister Mustafa Madbouly saying in a joint presser in Beirut with his Lebanese counterpart Nawaf Salam that "we reject any Israeli presence on Lebanese territory, and we support you in taking the necessary steps to stabilize the current situation in Lebanon."

Netanyahu’s comments came after Defense Minister Israel Katz accused Lebanese President Joseph Aoun of "dragging his feet" on the matter.

However,
you can observe a lot just by watching...
Lebanese army sources told Rooters last week they had blown up so many Hezbollah arms caches that they had run out of explosives and they expect to complete their sweep of the country’s south by the end of the year.

hundreds of people gathered in Nabatieh in southern Lebanon for the funeral of five recently slain Hezbollah members.

Four of the slain operatives, who were killed by the IDF on Saturday, were members of the elite Radwan unit, and the fifth, who was killed on Friday, was a Hezbollah logistics officer working to reestablish Hezbollah’s infrastructure in south Lebanon, according to the IDF.

The men’s coffins were draped in Hezbollah’s flag while mourners threw petals and chanted "death to Israel, death to America." Hezbollah members in military garb were present, swearing loyalty to His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah

Some held pictures of relatives killed by Israel, according to an AFP correspondent.

"This is a price the south is paying on a daily basis," Rana Hamed, the mother of one the five men killed, told AFP. "We know that Israel has been our enemy for decades."
