Israeli Strikes in Southern Lebanon Kill Seven Hezbollah Operatives Allegedly Transporting Weapons, IDF Says

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Friday that it had killed seven Hezbollah operatives who were allegedly transporting weapons near the security zone in southern Lebanon.

According to the IDF, the individuals were loading weapons into a structure in the El Manzala area that the military claims Hezbollah used as a staging ground for attacks against Israeli soldiers.

“The IDF will not allow the Hezbollah terrorist organization to harm Israeli civilians or IDF soldiers and will continue to operate to remove threats,” an IDF spokesperson said in a statement.

The report also noted that journalist Yael Kuriel contributed to the coverage.

The claims are based on statements released by the IDF, and there was no immediate independent confirmation or response from Hezbollah regarding the incident.
