The operation, led by the IDF's Northern Command and Air Force, aimed to disrupt Hezbollah's ongoing rehabilitation of terrorist infrastructure throughout Lebanon. The IDF stated that Hezbollah's activities, including the presence of these tools and their operations in civilian spaces, violate the understandings between Israel and Lebanon and put Lebanese civilians at risk by using them as human shields. The IDF reiterated its commitment to protecting the State of Israel and indicated it will continue to take action as necessary. This action occurred during the reporting window of 10/10/2025, 11:06:53 PM to 10/11/2025, 2:06:53 AM UTC.
