Israel at War: Week 122
In a nighttime operation, IDF forces captured a high-ranking terrorist officer in southern Lebanon on Sunday (7). The officer is a member of Al-Jamaah Al-Islamiyah, a Lebanese Sunni terror group that carried out attacks against Israel throughout the war. Israeli forces also found weapons at his home. “The abduction took place in the Har Dov area of southern Lebanon.” Israeli forces transferred him to Israel for interrogation.
In another operation, IDF forces targeted and eliminated a Hezbollah terrorist “who violated the ceasefire by rebuilding Hezbollah’s artillery network and embedding it on the civilian population of South Lebanon.”
Both incidents suggest that the Lebanese government has not succeeded in disarming Hezbollah south of the Litani River as they claimed. “The strike came a day after Lebanon’s prime minister toured the area claiming to prove that Hezbollah had been disarmed.”
Both of these operations “undercut and call into question the claim.”
