Israeli forces destroy Hezbollah rocket launcher amid southern Lebanon military operation

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) released footage Monday showing the destruction of a Hezbollah rocket launcher in southern Lebanon, as the U.S.-Israel military offensive on Iran continues.

In a statement, the IDF said troops from the 401st Brigade, operating under the command of the 91st Division, are carrying out operations in southern Lebanon as part of a forward defense posture aimed at thwarting terrorist infrastructure belonging to the Hezbollah terrorist organization.
“During operational activity in the area, the troops located a Hezbollah rocket launcher that had been used to fire rockets toward Israeli territory,” the IDF said.

“The troops dismantled the launcher, and during the strike a Hezbollah terrorist operating in the area — who was involved in terrorist activity and in launching fire toward Israeli territory — was struck and eliminated.”

The military added that “IDF troops will continue operating to strengthen the forward defense posture and to prevent the Hezbollah terrorist organization from rebuilding its capabilities.”
