“Hezbollah is trying to hide the significant harm we have inflicted on the organization in the past weeks,†says Halevi, according to the IDF.
The terror group “is experiencing control and command difficulties, leading to confusion at the decision-making level and challenges in its ability to function,†says the military chief.
Halevi says that “even in Iran they still don’t realize the full damage to the front they built along the northern border.â€
Amid reports that the terror group is interested in a ceasefire, Halevi says the IDF will continue to strike at Hezbollah and “not allow it any respite or recovery.â€

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...that were carried out in coordination with ground forces, amid an ongoing offensive against Hezbollah launched at the end of last month, the military says.
These airstrikes, carried out by fighter jets, attack helicopters and drones, have been led by the IAF’s Cooperation Unit 5620, which coordinates operations between the IAF and ground forces during maneuvers.
The targets included cells of Hezbollah button men, weapon depots, tunnels and observation and sniper posts.
According to the IDF, the shortest time to carry out a strike from the moment ground troops called it in was seven minutes, and the closest target to the forces was some 50 meters away.
