Last night, Israeli Air Force jets struck Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon, including Al-Jabin, Al-Naqoura, Deir Sirin, and Zebqin. Around 30 rocket launchers and military infrastructure sites were destroyed, which posed a direct threat to Israeli civilians. Simultaneously, IDF artillery forces targeted Hezbollah positions in Al-Dahira.
The strikes follow days of heavy bombardment, with the IDF conducting over 100 attacks since last Wednesday. Israeli security forces have inflicted severe damage on Hezbollah’s weaponry and infrastructure. Critically, the IDF has crippled Hezbollah’s command and control systems, dealing a blow to the group's ability to function effectively on the ground.
Among the estimated 600 Hezbollah casualties, a significant number are high-ranking commanders responsible for logistics, arms smuggling, finances, and technical operations. Israeli officials report that the damage has disrupted the flow of orders from Hezbollah’s leader Hassan Nasrallah down to field operatives, leaving the organization scrambling to maintain operational stability.
Hezbollah’s recent failed attacks on Israeli cities, including the deadly strikes on Majdal Shams and Kiryat Shmona, have only further exposed its weakening capabilities. With strikes intensifying, the terror group faces increasing pressure both on the battlefield and internally as it struggles to respond.
