IDF Wipes Out Hezbollah Drone Squad North of Litani | WATCH
A rapid precision strike catches Hezbollah operatives mid-launch! See the IDF footage as forces take out a drone cell and trigger massive secondary blasts.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) eliminated three Hezbollah terrorists in southern Lebanon who were actively attempting to launch explosive drones at Israeli troops, the military announced Monday.
IDF forces operating in the region also uncovered a weapons cache containing rockets and additional explosive drones rigged and ready for immediate launch.
The engagement, which took place on Sunday, unfolded as forces from the Givati Brigade, operating under the command of the 36th Division, expanded operations targeting Hezbollah infrastructure north of the Litani River.
According to the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit, Israeli Air Force drone operators quickly spotted the three Hezbollah operatives preparing the explosive UAVs. In a rapid closing of the sensor-to-shooter cycle, the remotely piloted aircraft tracked the operatives as they attempted to flee the scene and eliminated them in a series of precision airstrikes.
Following the strikes, ground troops conducted targeted sweeps of the immediate area. During the searches, soldiers uncovered a concealed weapons depot packed with rockets and explosive-laden drones intended for use against Israeli forces.
The military subsequently targeted the depot, triggering powerful secondary explosions that confirmed the presence of a large volume of stored munitions.
This comes as Hezbollah's explosive drones continue to murder and maim Israeli soldiers, on a daily basis. Yesterday, Staff Sgt. Adam Tzarfati (20) from Rosh Haayin, was killed by an explosive drone in southern Lebanon and others were injured, some seriously.
As a result of these attacks, Netnayahu and Israel katz have instructed the IDF to launch strikes against Hezbollah terror targets in Beirut, seemingly with the approval of America. Until now, Beirut has been off limits because Iran said that Israel attacking Beirut could lead to the US-Iran deal failing.
For theree weeks, Israel has sent soldiers to Lebanon, largely sitting ducks, waiting for the next drone to explode, then collected its dead and wounded. That's our new normal.
As to when it will end, no one knows. Marco Rubio is trying to force an agreement between Israel and Lebanon but Hezbollah's constant attcaks are complicating it, understandably.
