IDF says 162nd Division eliminated more than 250 Hezbollah terrorists in southern Lebanon

The IDF said the 162nd Division is continuing defensive operations in southern Lebanon, south of the Forward Defense Line, as part of efforts to remove direct threats to communities in northern Israel.

According to the military, forces from the division have so far eliminated more than 250 Hezbollah terrorists, dismantled more than 405 terror infrastructures, and located over 1,000 weapons and munitions items in the Forward Defense Area.

Operational data from the sector

The IDF presented the latest figures as part of its ongoing campaign to degrade Hezbollah’s military infrastructure in southern Lebanon and strengthen the forward defense posture along the northern front.

• More than 250 Hezbollah terrorists eliminated.

• More than 405 terror infrastructures dismantled.

• More than 1,000 weapons and munitions items located.

The military said these operations are aimed at preventing future attacks and reducing the direct threat to Israeli civilians living near the border.

Body cameras used for Hezbollah propaganda found

During one of the operations, IDF troops located body cameras belonging to Hezbollah terrorists, the military said. According to the statement, the devices contained recordings used by the organization for propaganda purposes.

The discovery adds to previous Israeli claims that Hezbollah terrorists document battlefield activity for media and psychological warfare purposes alongside their military operations.

Tunnel routes and additional footage released

The IDF also said troops identified underground tunnel routes in the area and released accompanying footage from the operations, including material taken from Hezbollah terrorists’ body cameras.

The military said it will continue operating with determination to remove threats, protect Israeli civilians, and reinforce the security posture in the forward defense area.
