The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) have reported that two Hezbollah militants were killed in a targeted operation in Lebanon. The incident occurred overnight, with the Israeli military striking locations associated with the Lebanese militant group.
According to a statement released on the IDF’s official Telegram channel, fighter jets carried out precision strikes on “terror targets” in the town of Khiam. These targets included critical infrastructure and two military structures. The IDF clarified that the operation was aimed at neutralising an imminent threat in the area.
Additionally, an Israel Air Force aircraft successfully eliminated two Hezbollah terrorists who were identified in the vicinity of Kfarkela. The operation underscores the ongoing tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, with both sides engaging in sporadic hostilities along the border.
The recent escalation in attacks comes in the wake of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza. Hezbollah, like its Palestinian counterpart Hamas, receives support from Iran.
