NO RESPITE: IDF Division 146 Dismantles 1,000 Hezbollah Sites as "Operation Eternal Darkness" Kicks into High Gear
Division 146 dismantles 1,000+ Hezbollah sites in Southern Lebanon as dramatic footage shows the "closing of the circle" on ambush cells. While the U.S. and Iran navigate a fragile truce, Israel intensifies its ground and air campaign to secure the northern border.
The IDF’s Division 146 continues its systematic dismantling of Hezbollah infrastructure along the northern border. Recent footage released by the military reveals a high-stakes "closing of the circle," where aerial strikes neutralized terrorist cells just minutes after they attempted to ambush Israeli ground forces.
The Hunt in the Rocks
In a dramatic nighttime pursuit in Southern Lebanon, IDF observation teams identified Hezbollah squads attempting to flee into nearby buildings after failed sabotage attempts against Israeli troops.
1,000 Terror Infrastructures Destroyed
The intensity of the operation is underscored by the scale of the destruction. Military sources confirm that over 1,000 Hezbollah terror sites have been demolished by the division so far, including:

As Hezbollah’s border infrastructure is dismantled piece by piece, the IDF maintains that it will continue offensive and defensive operations across all sectors to prevent the terror group from re-establishing its presence on the border.
