IDF says Hezbollah only has 30% of its rockets left, some 2,000 terror operatives killed
The IDF says it has defeated Hezbollah’s forces in every area that Israeli troops have so far operated in southern Lebanon.
According to the military’s latest estimates, more than 1,200 Hezbollah members have been killed amid the ground offensive. In all, since October 2023, over 2,000 members of the terror group have been killed, the IDF says.
Among the dead Hezbollah members are seven brigade-level commanders, 21 battalion-level commanders, and two dozen company commanders, according to the IDF.
The military says it sees Hezbollah struggling to bring in reinforcements to counter the IDF’s five divisions operating against it in southern Lebanon, and that the amount of weapons the army has seized is affecting the terror group’s ability to carry out attacks.
In terms of rocket capabilities, the IDF estimates that Hezbollah maintains about 30% of what it initially had before the war, which is still thousands of rockets.
But due to the elimination of Hezbollah’s leadership, including numerous field commanders, the IDF says Hezbollah is struggling to carry out massive rocket fire that the terror group had initially planned.
The IDF still aims to wrap up its operations in southern Lebanon within a few weeks. Once the threat of a Hezbollah invasion is removed from the border area, residents of the north will be able to return to their homes.
