IDF says strike in south Lebanon killed four elite Hezbollah operatives
Primary target of strike in Kfar Roummane is logistics chief in terror group's Radwan Force, military says; Katz says Lebanese president ‘dragging his feet’ on disarming Hezbollah
IDF strikes Radwan Force and Hezbollah terrorists who attempted to reestablish terror infrastructure sites and gather intelligence on IDF troops.
Lebanon's President Joseph Aoun says any negotiations with Israel to stop ongoing strikes on southern Lebanon must be mutual.
Hezbollah is rearming by smuggling weapons through seaports, as well as smuggling routes through Syria, leading Israel to lose patience with Lebanon over its commitment to disarm the terror group, the sources say. Israel was angered by recent intelligence findings on the issue, the sources add.
The Lebanese army is expected to finish its sweep of Hezbollah targets in the south by the end of this year, a considerable feat in a country in which Hezbollah was once the dominant political force.
