🚨 IDF: 12 KM DEEP RAID INSIDE LEBANON

The IDF permits publication: Forces from the Tzabar Battalion operated 12 km inside Lebanon, carrying out a targeted raid in the village of Dabin.

The operation focused on a Hezbollah facility that had been preparing for combat against Israel.

According to the IDF, more than 20 militants were killed during close-quarters fighting and in supporting airstrikes.

🚨 ARAB REPORT: HEZBOLLAH FIGHTER HANDED OVER TO IDF

Arab sources claim an injured Hezbollah fighter who retreated from Bint Jbeil toward Ein Ebl was handed over to Israeli forces.

According to the report, the fighter was initially expected to be transferred via a Red Cross ambulance in Rmeich, but locals in Ein Ebl allegedly intervened and delivered him to the IDF, where he was taken into Israel.

The report also suggests additional Hezbollah fighters may still be present in Bint Jbeil and the surrounding “red zone.”



Hezbollah launched a drone at troops stationed in southern Lebanon during the day, which was intercepted by air defenses. The IDF called the attack a “blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement.” Tuesday saw Hezbollah launch a barrage of rockets at troops in southern Lebanon and a drone at Israel, also citing truce violations.

Israel has not yet responded to those attacks beyond striking a rocket launcher used in the barrage.

The military also said Wednesday that it had struck and killed two Hezbollah operatives the previous day after they crossed the ceasefire line in southern Lebanon.

The two operatives killed by the army on Tuesday were spotted by troops of the 7th Armored Brigade near the Wadi Saluki stream. The IDF said the operatives "crossed the forward defense line and approached the troops in a manner that posed an immediate threat."

The Israeli Air Force then struck and "eliminated the turbans to remove the threat," the military said.

On Wednesday, the IDF said Hezbollah launched a drone at its troops stationed in southern Lebanon. According to the IDF, the drone was intercepted by air defenses. No injuries were reported.

The IDF called the attack a "blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement."

Hezbollah took responsibility for the drone attack, saying it targeted an Israeli artillery site in the Ras al-Bayada headland south of Tyre, in response to Israeli violations of the ceasefire.

Meanwhile,
...back at the abandoned silver mine, there was another explosion...
the IDF denied carrying out a strike in Lebanon’s eastern Beqaa Valley on Wednesday morning.

Lebanon’s state media had reported earlier that one person was killed and two others maimed in an Israeli dronezap overnight on the outskirts of al-Jabbour.

In response to a query, the military told The Times of Israel that it was unaware of any strikes conducted in that area. # id) ?>

1 We cannot survive if we only seek peace and not security
Analysis: The Israelis who live in the north are tired of wars, but they know that they will only have true peace when Hezbollah is truly dismantled; We need to return to seeking a solution, and use an effective threat: the conquest of territories

2 I'm always shocked to wake up and find we have an ally that actually fights.
