According to military sources, the operative was actively monitoring Israeli troop movements when he was detected and detained.
Thwarting Ambush Attempts
The military stated that the 36th Division eliminated dozens of Hezbollah operatives who attempted to ambush Israeli forces during the past day of operations. In one incident, troops identified a terrorist armed with an RPG launcher and neutralized him before he could fire on Israeli soldiers.

The division has been systematically searching military structures and strategic terrain points, uncovering stockpiles that include anti-tank missiles, rockets, launchers, mines, and explosives.

Update on the Northern Front
The IDF’s 36th Division is moving forward with its mission to dismantle Hezbollah’s military presence along the Lebanese border. After finishing operations in other sectors, the division has shifted its focus to active Hezbollah strongholds.
Israeli troops are carrying out targeted raids on infrastructure while staying on high alert for potential ambushes. This isn't just a ground effort, artillery units are providing close fire support as specialized teams work to find and destroy underground tunnels and weapons caches.
The military says these operations are a critical step in securing the north and protecting both the troops on the ground and the residents living near the border.
