The IDF was not taking a break from the battle against the Iranian-backed Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah on Wednesday morning, despite the Iranian ballistic missile attack the previous evening. The Israeli Air Force carried out targeted strikes on Hezbollah weapons factories in Beirut in recent days and continued with the ground campaign in southern Lebanon meant to push Hezbollah forces north of the Litani River.
The IDF emphasized that every effort is being made to minimize the risk to civilians in these operations, including the standard practice of warning them to move away from Hezbollah positions and military infrastructure.
Meanwhile, the IDF announced that the 36th Division has been fully mobilized and will soon be sent into action to initiate "limited, localized, targeted raids on Hezbollah terror targets and terrorist infrastructure in southern Lebanon."
The IDF announcement added that the air force and artillery units will be supporting this ground maneuver. The IDF has reported that progress is being made in the effort to destroy Hezbollah's ability to threaten Israel and push it back beyond the Litani River.
