IDF deepens combat in southern Lebanon: targeted eliminations and evacuation warnings for the population

Over the past day, the IDF has deepened its operational activity in southern Lebanon, with an emphasis on thwarting immediate threats. According to reports by the IDF Spokesperson, Air Force forces carried out a "rapid closure of a circle" and eliminated a terrorist from the Hezbollah terrorist organization moments after he landed and received an unmanned aerial vehicle that posed a threat to our forces in the area.

Simultaneously, the IDF Spokesperson confirmed details of a combined operation of the 401st Brigade and the 146th Division, in which the terrorist who caused the death of Maj. (res.) Itamar Sapir, of blessed memory, last week was eliminated. According to 8200 News Channel, the terrorist was identified entering a structure in a church area in southern Lebanon, where he was eliminated through a combination of tank fire and a targeted aerial strike. The channel, which is identified with security and military reports, notes that during the fighting, the organization's observation posts and weapons depots were also destroyed.

In an unusual and significant step, 360 News reported that the IDF Spokesperson in Arabic issued a call for residents of southern Lebanon to evacuate immediately north of the Zaharani River. According to the report, the directive was given following "repeated ceasefire violations by Hezbollah," with all territory south of the river being defined by the army as a combat zone. Military sources emphasized that Hezbollah is "complicating Lebanon with destruction and endangering the lives of Lebanese civilians" by using civilian infrastructure for terror purposes.

These reports received widespread coverage on additional Telegram channels, including Ziv Rubinstein - Until the war ends, Voice of the News on 🆃🅴🅻🅴🅶🆁🅰️🅼, and Nitzan Shapira on Telegram, which emphasized the determination of the forces on the ground in closing operational circles against terrorist operatives.
