Hezbollah Starts Hiding Deaths as Cases of "Lost Contact" in Fight with IDF
The IDF is using precise intelligence and overwhelming firepower to strike Hezbollah units attacking Israel, leading the terrorist organization to hide the full casualty numbers.
The IDF's counterstrikes against Hezbollah attacks on Israel are becoming serious enough that the terrorist organization is starting to hide its losses by listing members as having "lost contact" with the organization rather than as dead.
Walla News military correspondent Amir Bohbot reports that IDF forces have been using sophisticated intelligence and intense firepower to destroy Hezbollah units firing into Israeli territory.
The IDF's efforts are reportedly so successful that Hezbollah has started hiding its real death toll by listing members as having "lost contact" with the organization rather than as dead. It is also possible that the IDF's firepower is so great that Hezbollah itself cannot find the bodies of its dead members.
According to the Lebanese news portal Naharnet, the AFP assesses that some 120 Lebanese have died since the conflict started in the north, most of them Hezbollah members, as well as about a dozen civilians. Israel has suffered six soldiers dead and four civilians wounded in the same time period.
