The IDF announced that troops have carried out a series of specialized operations over the past year in Kfarkela, a Hezbollah stronghold in southern Lebanon. These operations uncovered a complex network of underground infrastructure, weapon storage facilities, and observation posts embedded within the area. Led by the 769th Brigade under the 91st Division, the IDF’s recent missions have intensified, focusing on neutralizing Hezbollah’s capability to launch ground attacks into northern Israel, particularly as part of its “Conquer the Galilee” strategy. Troops have destroyed extensive terrorist infrastructure, including numerous bunkers, hundreds of military structures, and thousands of weapons, as well as capturing intelligence documents and equipment used by Hezbollah’s Radwan Forces. The IDF reported that much of Hezbollah’s military build-up had been placed within civilian structures over the years, with the ongoing efforts in Kfarkela aimed at fully dismantling Hezbollah’s ability to use the area as a base for attacks on Israel.
