IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi took part in a situational assessment with commanders from the Golani Brigade in southern Lebanon on Friday, emerging from the briefings he received with a statement to them and the media. , "We estimate that around 1,500 Hezbollah operatives are dead, and the fact that they are surrendering is an important achievement," he said.

"We are very determined to hit Hezbollah as hard as possible and look, we have taken away the entire senior command layer, we have taken away the entire local command layer...it is shrinking. An entire chain of command is being wiped out, Hezbollah is hiding dead commanders."

One analysts noted that Hezbollah is estimated to have lost around 1,200 fighters killed in action during their involvement in the Syrian civil war from 2012 to 2019, meaning they've already lost more than that in less than two months of fighting against the IDF.

Elsewhere, IDF troops reported destroying multiple Hezbollah tunnels in southern Lebanon in recent days, including regional command posts, as well as capturing large quantities of weapons, ammunition and supplies.
