… As part of the IDF's operational activity in Lebanon, IAF fighter jets launched a comprehensive strike last night, prior to the ceasefire coming into effect, to dismantle Hezbollah’s Aerial Unit’s terrorist infrastructure, which was systematically entrenched within civilian villages and buildings. The targets struck included:
-150+ UAV Launching Positions
-Approx. 30 of the Unit’s Command Centers
-Approx. 20 Weapons Storage Facilities Containing UAVs and Cruise Missiles
-Approx. 4 UAV and Cruise Missile Manufacturing Workshops
… The IDF used 100 bombs, among them bunker busters, to destroy the base.
IDF says it hit Hezbollah’s largest precision missile production site hours before truce
[IsraelTimes] Military says underground complex that stretched for 1.4 kilometers was terror group’s most strategically significant weapons-making site
In the hours before a ceasefire with Hezbollah came into effect early Wednesday, Israeli fighter jets destroyed the terror group’s largest underground precision-guided missile manufacturing site in Leb, the Israel Defense Forces said.
The military released footage of the Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM! ...
s from the night before on the site, which was hidden in a subterranean complex that stretched for 1.4 kilometers (less than a mile) near the town of Janta in eastern Lebanon’s Beqaa Valley, very close to the Syrian border.
Fighter jets pounded the location for over four hours, according to the military, dealing "a blow to the Hezbollah terror organization’s ability to produce weapons."
Before the massive bombardment of the missile site, planes struck the surrounding area, including a central Hezbollah Radwan Force base, the IDF said in its statement. The military estimated that dozens of operatives were killed in the strike on the Radwan base.
The missile manufacturing plant was built several years ago with Iranian support, the IDF said. It was used by Hezbollah to build precision surface-to-surface missiles and other weapons, as well as to store the guided missiles. The IDF said that Iranian operatives also worked at the facility alongside Hezbollah. Its proximity to Syria allowed Hezbollah to smuggle into Lebanon thousands of components to build the precision missiles, as well as for operatives to travel between Syria and Lebanon, according to the statement.
"This was Hezbollah’s most strategically significant production facility in Lebanon targeted during the war. The strike was made possible by a precise intelligence file that was collected and built over the years," the IDF said.
IDF front man Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, in a live presser Wednesday evening, also remarked on the attack, saying Israel had been monitoring the site "for a long time."
*Snicker*
They see you when you’re sleeping
They know when you’re awake
They know if you’ve been bad or good… He said the complex was divided into different spaces, each of which produced a different part for the precision surface-to-surface missiles.
Preventing Hezbollah from obtaining precision-guided missiles has been a central plank of Israel’s to disrupt Iran’s weapons supply to the terror group.
Waves of IDF strikes until 4 a.m. Wednesday
[IsraelTimes] Several waves of strikes, targeting over 300 Hezbollah sites, were carried out from around 5 p.m. on Tuesday into the night, right up until the ceasefire took effect at 4 a.m.
One of the strikes in the Beqaa Valley, close to the Syrian border, targeted an underground Hezbollah precision-guided missile manufacturing and storage site, the military said.
The IDF said it spent four hours bombing the underground kilometer-long site, which contained machinery used to build precision-guided missiles, as well as depots to store them. An adjacent Radwan Force base was also struck, and the military estimated that several dozen Hezbollah operatives were killed.
Another strike shortly after midnight hit a border crossing between Syria and Leb
...an Iranian satrapy until recently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
, which the IDF said was used by Hezbollah to smuggle weapons. Syrian media reported six dead in the strike.
Among the 300 Hezbollah sites struck on the day before the ceasefire, 42 were in Beirut, 48 were in the Beqaa Valley, and 150 were in southern Lebanon, according to the military.
The IDF said targets included 15 sites used by the terror group for the management and storage of funds, 64 command centers, 65 buildings used for military purposes, and 42 weapon depots.
The IDF said that another strike on Tuesday in Beirut killed Jafar Ali Samaha, the operations chief of Hezbollah’s aerial forces, known as Unit 127, which is responsible for drone and cruise missile attacks on Israel.
Throughout the war, the IDF said that it struck over 150 drone launch sites, some 20 depots where drones and cruise missiles were stored, and four manufacturing plants belonging to Unit 127. The military has estimated that 70 percent of Hezbollah’s drone and cruise missile stockpile have been destroyed.
During the entire conflict, the military said, over 12,500 Hezbollah sites in Lebanon were struck, including 360 in Beirut’s southern suburbs. In the 2006 Second Lebanon War, for comparison, some 140 sites were struck in Beirut’s southern suburbs.
In September, the commander of the aerial forces, Muhammad Hussein Sarour, was killed in Beirut. Other top commanders in the unit have also been killed, including Samaha on Tuesday.
Amid the fighting, hundreds of explosive-laden drones launched by Hezbollah at Israel were intercepted, according to the IDF. Numerous drones have also impacted Israel, causing casualties and damage.

Fighting intensified in late September, with Israel killing much of Hezbollah’s leadership and launching a limited ground incursion on October 1 that has seen soldiers search villages for rockets and other arms held by the terror group, and tackle its terror tunnels and other infrastructure.
Source familiar with Hezbollah ops says up to 4,000 fighters may have been killed over past year
[IsraelTimes] With the bodies of its fighters still strewn on the battlefield, Hezbollah must bury its dead and provide succor to its supporters who bore the brunt of Israel’s offensive, as the first steps on a long and costly road to recovery, four senior officials say.
Hezbollah believes the number of its fighters killed during 14 months of hostilities could reach several thousand, with the vast majority killed since Israel went on the offensive in September, three sources familiar with its operations say, citing previously unreported internal estimates.
One source says the Iran-backed terror group may have lost up to 4,000 people — well over 10 times the number killed in its month-long 2006 war with Israel. So far, Lebanese authorities have said some 3,800 people were killed in the current hostilities, without distinguishing fighters from civilians.
The IDF has estimated that Israeli forces killed some 3,000 Hezbollah operatives.
