Footage of the Chief of the General Staff, LTG Eyal Zamir, speaking with commanders in southern Lebanon yesterday (Thursday): https://bit.ly/4stL6lQ
From the remarks of the Chief of the General Staff, LTG Eyal Zamir:
“The IDF is in a state of war; we are not in a ceasefire on the northern front. We continue to operate here on this front —this is our primary operational focus. In Iran, we are in a ceasefire, but we can return to operating there at any moment, and with great intensity.
In Lebanon, we are continuing to deepen our achievements and expand our operations. The area where you are operating is extremely important—this is Lebanon, this is against Hezbollah. Here we are active, employing many means and many of our capabilities. The achievements of this war so far are historic.
Iran before this war is not the same Iran—it is much weaker. The blow Iran has sustained also affects Hezbollah, because Hezbollah understands that it is now isolated. It is isolated within Lebanon, cut off from its strategic backing—from those who fund it and supply it with munitions—and therefore this is a very significant achievement.
While our troops operate along the forward defensive area, earlier this week, delivered a General Staff–level command strike in Beirut and in Beqaa, and I tell you—the terror organization is being effected deeply. They have left Dahieh and moved to other locations, to northern Beirut and various other neighborhoods, from where they are conducting terror.
Hezbollah encounters our fighter jets, both at the border and deep within Lebanon. It encounters our ground forces—we are removing the direct threat to our communities. This is a highly significant event, a very important achievement.
We are present on all fronts—as we are in Gaza, as we are in Syria—so too here in Lebanon. We are forward-positioned, creating a defensive area with our forces, our armored vehicles, and our troops between the enemy and the communities. This is our role; this is the mission.
I believe this mission is very clear. Great appreciation for the people—the very best in the world—with tremendous spirit, followed by the highest-level capabilities. I do not recall in the history of the IDF combined formations—infantry, armor, and engineering—with such strong capabilities. So, great appreciation—take care of yourselves and carry out your missions. Good luck.”

IDF: Watch: Hezbollah terrorists launch rockets to northern Israel from a school and concealed a launcher within it
A short while ago, the IDF identified that the Hezbollah terrorist organization launched rockets from a school compound in the Tir Zibneh area in southern Lebanon.
In newly released IDF footage, the heat signature of the launcher is clearly visible as it is transferred in real time within the school grounds, constituting the use of civilian infrastructure for military purposes in violation of international law.
Following the identification, and in accordance with international law, the IDF struck the premises in order to remove the threat to the State of Israel.
The IDF views with severity the Hezbollah terrorist organization’s cynical use of civilian infrastructure for military activity and will continue to operate against the organization’s military infrastructure in accordance with international law to defend the State of Israel.

IDF: The IDF reveals the details behind the largest strike in Lebanon since the start of Operation Roaring Lion
The count continues: Within only a minute, the IDF eliminated at least 180 Hezbollah terrorists in three areas simultaneously
Earlier this week (Wednesday), the IDF completed a large-scale wave of strikes targeting command centers and military infrastructure belonging to the Hezbollah terrorist organization across three areas simultaneously: Beirut, Beqaa, and southern Lebanon, following Hezbollah terrorists' attempts to expand their activity from Beirut northward into additional areas.
The large-scale wave of strikes was based on precise and high-quality intelligence, while using high-quality capabilities that allowed striking multiple areas simultaneously within a single minute.
Following an initial IDF intelligence assessment, it can be determined that the IDF has eliminated more than 180 Hezbollah terrorists. The count is ongoing at this time.
As part of the strikes, approximately 100 targets were struck in three areas simultaneously: More than 45 Hezbollah main command centers, approximately 40 military structures used by Hezbollah commanders to advance terror attacks, and multiple terror infrastructure used by the top military operatives of the terrorist organization.
In Beirut, the IDF struck approximately 35 military infrastructure sites of the Hezbollah terror organization, including an emergency command center used by Hezbollah's intelligence unit, a command center used by the Radwan Force, and a command center used by Hezbollah's missile unit.
In southern Lebanon, approximately 40 additional infrastructure sites were struck, including a unit and a weapons storage facility. Simultaneously, in the Beqaa Valley, headquarters of the Radwan Force and the intelligence unit were struck, along with additional infrastructure.
From these command centers, Hezbollah terrorists operated to advance and plan terror attacks against IDF soldiers and Israeli civilians in recent times, particularly during the current operation.
This constitutes a significant and deep blow to the operational and command capabilities of the Hezbollah terror organization.
Most of the infrastructure sites struck were located in the heart of the civilian population, a cynical use of Lebanese civilians as a human shield by the Hezbollah terror organization.
Prior to the strikes, steps were taken to mitigate harm to uninvolved civilians as much as possible, including using precise ammunition and aerial surveillance.

IDF: Materials for manufacturing high-powered explosives and IED’s: IDF soldiers dismantled an explosives manufacturing lab in Tulkarem
Following an intelligence indication, IDF soldiers located and dismantled yesterday (Friday) an explosives manufacturing lab in Tulkarem.
During the activity, IDF soldiers located numerous amounts of weapons and materials used to produce explosive devices in the lab, including:
* Improvised explosive devices (IEDs), including approximately 200 pipe bombs
* Fire extinguishers intended to be used as explosive charges attached to vehicles
* Large gas cylinders with the potential to be used as under-vehicle explosive devices intended to target armored vehicles
* More than 50 kilograms of improvised explosive material
The explosives made in the lab were intended to target IDF soldiers operating in Judea and Samaria and to be used for carrying out terror attacks against Israeli civilians. The laboratory had been operating prior to the start of the IDF’s counterterrorism activity in northern Samaria.
IDF operational activity in the area has been ongoing for more than a year, during which troops have located ammunition, weapons, and explosive devices used by terrorist networks in the area that posed a threat to Israeli civilians and IDF soldiers.
