IDF: 3,400 Hezbollah sites targeted amid war

IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari in a press conference said the Israeli military had deployed three divisions to the northern border amid Hezbollah’s attacks on northern Israel, Report informs via The Times of Israel.

He said the IDF had struck more than 150 cells, killing some 200 terror operatives, mostly members of Hezbollah, and targeted more than 3,400 Hezbollah sites since the beginning of the war in Gaza.

The targets include some 120 observation posts, 40 weapons depots, and 40 command centers manned by Hezbollah members, along with more significant sites such as an airstrip used by Hezbollah to launch drones and a weapons depot storing anti-aircraft missiles, Hagari said.

He said the IDF is working to “reshape the security reality” on the northern border, so that some 80,000 displaced Israelis by Hezbollah’s attacks can return to their homes.

“We do not choose war as our first option but are certainly ready, and preparing for it all the time, if need be,” Hagari said.
