The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) intensified their offensive against the terrorist group Hezbollah on Tuesday by destroying six infrastructures used to plan and execute attacks against Israeli civilians and troops deployed on the northern border. At the same time, the Israeli military leadership issued one of its strongest warnings against Tehran, stating that the recent attack on Iran was merely a precursor to a much more powerful operation.
The IDF struck key Hezbollah infrastructure
According to the Israeli Army, airstrikes were carried out against various terrorist targets located in Tyre and other areas of southern Lebanon during the last day.
In Tyre, Israeli forces destroyed six infrastructures used by Hezbollah to coordinate military operations, including a site used for launching explosive drones against Israeli soldiers.
Additionally, the attacks targeted:
Launchers of projectiles loaded and ready to fire.
Infrastructures used by terrorist cells.
Hezbollah fighters detected in operational areas.
Positions used to harass Israeli forces deployed on the border.
Israel claims that these facilities represented an immediate threat to the safety of its citizens and military personnel stationed in the northern part of the country.
Israel threatens a much harsher blow against Iran
In parallel to the operations in Lebanon, the head of the Israeli General Staff, Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir, made it clear that Israel does not consider the front with Tehran closed.
"The attack we carried out in Iran was a preparation for a much more significant and powerful blow. We are prepared to return and deliver another severe and far-reaching attack against Iran", he stated during a visit to a military training center.
This is the most explicit warning made so far by the highest military authority in Israel since the recent regional escalation.
Zamir also confirmed that operations against Hezbollah will continue as long as the terrorist threat persists in southern Lebanon.
Hezbollah was using underground facilities
The Israeli commander specifically referred to operations in the area of Beaufort, where troops continue to dismantle strategic structures of the Shiite group.
