According to the IDF, troops in the raids over past months silently reached around 1,000 Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon, some of them several kilometers from the border fence, including tunnels and bunkers where the terror group had stored weapons. The IDF said the sites were located both inside Lebanese villages and in forested areas.
The raids have been carried out since early in the Israel-Hamas war, after the IDF said it managed to push back Hezbollah’s elite Radwan force from the border area, enabling Israeli commandos to enter Lebanon with almost no detection. There were no direct clashes with Hezbollah operatives amid any of the raids.
I’m guessing that to be able to identify all these caches while Hezbollah was away and go destroy them, Israel had probably pretty deeply compromised Hezbollah, had to have known in advance where all their supplies were placed.
Which makes you wonder, how Hezbollah manages to shoot rockets into northern Israel for so long? One could speculate that someone intentionally left their capacity to maintain low level attacks untouched.
