According to the IDF, those killed include 15 commanders. It also reports the killing this week of the artillery chief in Hezbollah’s Nasr regional division, responsible for the area between Mount Dov and Bint Jbeil.

In Lebanon, 13 security forces were killed in an airstrike in Nabatieh.

On April 10, the Israeli Air Force launched a massive airstrike on the city of Nabatieh in southern Lebanon, killing 13 Lebanese security forces, the country's General Directorate of State Security reported.

The strikes targeted the Nabatieh administration building, which houses the regional directorate of state security.

"As a result, 13 employees who continued to carry out their duties died," the NNA news agency quoted the department as saying.

Rescue efforts are ongoing at the impact site. Authorities have noted that the death toll could rise.

On April 8, US President Donald Trump announced an agreement with Iran on a two-week ceasefire. Israel, meanwhile, stated that it would continue its military operation against Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon.

According to the Lebanese Civil Defense, more than 250 people were killed and over 1,100 injured as a result of Israeli strikes on Lebanon on April 8. On the same day, the Lebanese Red Cross reported that more than 80 civilians were killed and another 200 injured in an Israeli rocket attack on Beirut.
The Times of Israel adds:
PM, Trump held ‘tense’ call Thursday

The premier’s statement Thursday announcing direct talks with Leb
...The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. Only one of those statements is an exaggeration....

report.

It was at least the third phone call the pair had held this week, with Netanyahu using a Tuesday call to successfully lobby Trump against including Lebanon in the Iran

ceasefire.

But Trump called Netanyahu again on Wednesday to express his alarm after Israel launched the largest wave of strikes in Lebanon since the beginning of the war, killing over 300 people, according to the Lebanese health ministry. Trump said afterward that he urged Netanyahu for a more "low-key" campaign against Hezbollah.

Still ostensibly unhappy on Thursday, Trump phoned Netanyahu again to discuss Lebanon.

Shortly after the call, Netanyahu announced that Israel would enter direct talks with Lebanon regarding a ceasefire with Hezbollah and a peace deal with Beirut, while stressing that strikes against the Iran-backed terror group would continue in the meantime.

Since then, Israel has refrained from targeting Beirut for over 24 hours, despite issuing an evacuation warning for its southern suburbs on Thursday. The Kan public broadcaster reported Friday that after Netanyahu spoke with Trump, the premier ordered that any strike in the Lebanese capital must be authorized by him.

The Israeli Air Force continued strikes against other Hezbollah targets in Lebanon on Friday, albeit at a slightly lower intensity than in previous days. According to the military, the IAF hit 120 Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon to "remove threats" to ground troops over the previous day.

Lebanese media reported major IDF strikes in south Lebanon’s Nabatiyeh, one of which hit near a government building and killed eight members of the country’s State Security agency.

The military said it had targeted buildings used by Hezbollah "for military activity," and that it was aware of reports of casualties among Lebanon’s security forces. "The incident is under review," the IDF added.

Hezbollah returned fire Friday, seriously wounding an IDF reservist and lightly injuring another soldier in a drone attack in southern Lebanon, with the army saying that an explosive-laden drone struck next to the forces, and flying shrapnel injured the two troops.

They were taken to a hospital and their families were notified, the army added.

The terror group also launched more than 30 rockets at Israel on Friday, according to the IDF. Most of the rockets were intercepted or struck open areas, though a handful of rockets hit populated areas without being shot down.

Damage was caused by several rocket strikes, including in Misgav Am, Nahariya, Deir al-Assad and Safed, according to rescue services, though no injuries were reported.

IDF says it killed 180 Hezbollah members in Wednesday’s strikes

Meanwhile,
...back at the shootout, Butch shot Black Bart's gun out of his hand......
the IDF provided new details on the wide-scale strikes across Lebanon on Wednesday, saying it killed at least 180 members of the terror group.

Lebanon’s health ministry reported that the strikes killed 357. It did not differentiate between civilians and combatants.

The strikes hit around 100 Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon, the Beqaa Valley, and Beirut, according to the military. The IDF said the strikes were carried out based on "precise, high-quality intelligence," which enabled "simultaneous strikes in multiple areas within just one minute."

The strikes caused "a significant and deep blow" to Hezbollah, the military claimed.

"Following an initial intelligence assessment by the Military Intelligence Directorate, it can be determined that the IDF has eliminated more than 180 gunnies from the Hezbollah terror organization," the IDF said, adding that it is continuing to verify additional deaths, meaning the true number may be higher.

The IDF said that the targets included more than 45 "central headquarters" and another 40 buildings used by the terror group to advance attacks on Israel, alongside other infrastructure belonging to the terror group’s leadership.

In Beirut alone, the IDF said it struck 35 Hezbollah sites, including an emergency headquarters of the terror group’s intelligence division, a headquarters of the elite Radwan Force, and a headquarters of the group’s missile unit.

In south Lebanon, the military said the strikes hit several weapon depots. And in the Beqaa Valley, the IDF struck several headquarters of the Radwan Force and Hezbollah’s intelligence division.

The military said that most of the Hezbollah sites were located "within the heart of a civilian population, as part of the cynical exploitation by the Hezbollah terror organization of Lebanese civilians as human shields."

The IDF said it took steps to "minimize harm to civilians" in the strikes. According to Lebanese health authorities, among the dead in Wednesday’s strikes were women and kiddies.

In total, the IDF has killed more than 1,400 Hezbollah operatives in Lebanon since hostilities escalated on March 2, it claimed Friday. Lebanon’s health ministry says Israeli attacks have killed over 1,800 people, in tolls that do not differentiate between fighters and civilians.
