Military officials said the operations formed part of a wider campaign that aims to dismantle Hezbollah infrastructure in Lebanon. They added that the military releases bodycam footage to allow the public to see how troops conduct such missions. The Israeli military says the video highlights its efforts to target facilities it claims Hezbollah uses to plan and launch attacks against Israel and its civilians.
Israeli Military Says Operations Aim to Protect Northern Israel
In a message shared on the social media platform X, the Israeli military said its forces are continuing operations near the Israel–Lebanon border. According to the statement, the operations are aimed at maintaining security for communities in northern Israel and preventing possible attacks from across the border.
The military said its troops are maintaining what it described as a forward defensive posture in the region. This means soldiers remain stationed close to the border so they can respond quickly to potential threats. The presence of troops in these areas is intended to strengthen security and monitor activity along the border.
Over the past week, Israeli forces carried out several targeted night missions in southern Lebanon. The military said these operations led to the dismantling of multiple sites it described as Hezbollah-linked infrastructure that was allegedly used to coordinate and prepare attacks.
Officials said the operations are part of ongoing efforts to remove threats against Israeli civilians living near the northern border. Authorities also emphasized that troops will continue operating in areas where they believe militant infrastructure is present as security concerns remain high in the region.
Hezbollah Command Centres Targeted in Lebanon
The Israeli military said its forces struck several Hezbollah command centres during the recent operations in Lebanon. Officials said militants allegedly used these sites to plan attacks against Israel. The military also accused Hezbollah of placing its infrastructure within civilian areas across Lebanon, saying this tactic increases risks for nearby residents.
Officials said the military took steps to reduce potential harm to civilians before carrying out the strikes. The forces issued advance warnings, used precision-guided weapons, and conducted aerial surveillance before launching the attacks. The Israeli military said these precautions helped limit damage outside the targeted locations.

The Israeli military said its operations have killed more than 100 militants so far. Officials also said Israeli forces have dismantled over 60 command and control centres connected to Hezbollah’s Radwan Force as part of the campaign targeting Hezbollah infrastructure in Lebanon.
