The Israel Defense Forces on Wednesday struck a Hezbollah terrorist in the Jwaya area of Southern Lebanon, the military said. No further details were provided. Jwaya is located in the Tyre District of Southern Lebanon, some 17 miles from Israel’s northern border and 59 miles from Beirut. On Tuesday, the IDF eliminated two Hezbollah terrorists in the area of Kherbet Selem in Southern Lebanon, the military confirmed.
According to the IDF, one of the terrorists was an engineer involved in facilitating the organization’s military reestablishment efforts. “The terrorists’ actions constituted a blatant violation of the ceasefire understandings between Israel and Lebanon,” the military said, adding that it “will continue to operate to remove any threat and to protect the State of Israel.”
On Monday, the IDF conducted a series of targeted strikes on Hezbollah and Hamas terrorist infrastructure across Lebanon. The operation targeted Hezbollah weapon depots used by the Iranian proxy army to “advance attacks against IDF soldiers and against the State of Israel, as well as to rebuild its military capabilities,” according to an IDF statement. The Israeli army also struck Hamas weapons production sites that were being used to build military capabilities just across the Jewish state’s northern border. The Hezbollah and Hamas sites were located within civilian areas, the military stated, adding that this constituted “yet another example” of the terrorists’ “cynical use” of Lebanese noncombatants as human shields.
