Israel wipes out over 1,800 Hezbollah fighters during Roaring Lion operation

Since the launch of Operation “Roaring Lion,” the Israeli military has killed more than 1,800 Hezbollah fighters across Lebanon.

The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) press service stated that in the 24 hours prior to the announcement of a temporary ceasefire, more than 150 militants were killed and around 300 military targets were destroyed, including launchers, command centers, and weapons depots in various parts of Lebanon.

“Among the eliminated Hezbollah commanders was Hezbollah’s Bint Jbeil Sector Commander, Ali Rida Abbas. The Bint Jbeil sector is one of Hezbollah’s key frontline sectors, which Abbas commanded as part of the combat against IDF soldiers. Abbas advanced numerous attacks against IDF soldiers and the State of Israel over the years, particularly during Operation Roaring Lion. In addition, Abbas worked to restore the Bint Jbeil sector and held a number of positions within the Hezbollah terrorist organization,” the army added.

The statement also emphasised that the IDF will continue to act to remove any threat to Israeli civilians and its soldiers.
