The cease fire with many conditions with Hezbollah in Lebanon is 3 days old, and the news coming out is surprising as to what IDF has found.
12,500 targets, 100 special operations: IDF tallies Hezbollah conflict after cease-fire
Military report details over a year of fighting against terror group during which it seized military intelligence, eliminated Hezbollah commanders and struck thousands of targets. For a surprise, Hezbollah claims they have won, just about word for word of Israel's first claim.
According to military data, 121,000 communication devices, computers and electronic devices, along with documents, were seized and confiscated in Lebanon during dozens of covert operations preceding the two-month-long ground campaign that concluded earlier this week.
Additionally, 13,000 anti-tank missile launchers, anti-aircraft rockets and missiles, as well as 12,000 explosives, UAVs and various explosive devices, were captured or destroyed. The military estimated that over 155,000 items were seized in total.
The military assessed that Hezbollah holds less than 30% of its UAV fleet from before the war — still numbering several hundred. According to the IDF, at least 2,500 terrorists were confirmed to be eliminated, though the actual number is believed to be around 3,500 with twice as many injured.
Israel continues to promise strict enforcement of the cease-fire agreement. On Thursday, the IDF announced it conducted its first airstrike since the cease-fire, after "terrorist activity was identified in a facility used by Hezbollah to store mid-range rockets in southern Lebanon."
The military has also opened fire in several additional instances of violations, including an airstrike targeting two Hezbollah operatives who approached a known terror asset in southern Lebanon used to launch dozens of rockets into Israel in recent weeks.
Israel has prohibited Lebanese civilians from returning to villages along the border, at least for the time being.
Lebanese army soldiers
A problem not discussed enough is how the Lebanon army looks just like Hezbollah's army. They even have people of Hezbollah who are or have been people of the Lebanon's army. Uniforms are either alike or exactly like each other. Skin color is the same. Language is the same. They use yellow and green icons and smears on their faces. We're talking about people paid for by Iran and are fighters in Lebanon. Many Hezbollah terrorists must be Lebanese men, traitors of their own country. You'd think so, anyway.
