The IDF announced today (Wednesday) that forces from the 91st Division are expanding operations south of the forward defense line in Lebanon, systematically destroying terror infrastructure and eliminating Hezbollah operatives. Since the campaign began, troops have eliminated more than 400 terrorists—including members of the elite Radwan Force—and seized over 1,000 weapons as part of the ongoing effort to clear the area and remove threats to Israeli civilians.
2+The 91st Division’s operations focus on dismantling the “fortresses” Hezbollah built over years south of the forward defense line. Forces are operating in complex, built-up terrain where they’ve discovered more than 1,000 weapons so far, including anti-tank missiles, launchers, and explosives belonging to the terror organization.
At the center of these achievements stands the Shahaf intelligence unit (869), which has become the terror of Hezbollah fighters in Lebanese territory. Unit soldiers have identified and killed more than 120 operatives in rapid strikes from air and ground, and destroyed dozens of terror infrastructure sites, including Hezbollah command centers.

The campaign in southern Lebanon has shifted in recent weeks to a phase of thorough clearing of Hezbollah infrastructure adjacent to and south of the contact line. The IDF has concentrated efforts in regional divisions to “clean out” southern Lebanon of raid capabilities and direct fire threats.
2+The elimination of more than 400 fighters, with emphasis on the elite Radwan Force, represents a devastating blow to Hezbollah’s raid capabilities. Without these command centers and weapons, the organization loses its ability to execute a large-scale attack on Galilee communities. The Shahaf unit’s operations prove the terrain is no longer “sterile” for the organization—any fighter movement becomes a target within minutes.
