The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) eliminated a Hezbollah terrorist involved in restoring the group's military infrastructure in Qalaouiyah, southern Lebanon, and struck an engineering vehicle in Bilda, southern Lebanon, during the reporting window of 10/12/2025, 3:06:02 AM to 10/12/2025, 6:06:02 AM UTC. These actions were confirmed by official IDF statements, which noted that such activities violate the understandings between Israel and Lebanon. According to IDF statements released throughout the morning, the targeted terrorist was directly involved in attempts to reestablish Hezbollah's military presence in Qalaouiyah. Concurrently, an engineering vehicle utilized by Hezbollah for rebuilding its military sites in the Bilda area was also attacked. The IDF stated that the Hezbollah terrorist organization continues its efforts to rehabilitate terrorist infrastructure across Lebanon, often using civilian areas and populations as human shields. These strikes occurred yesterday, as detailed in one of the IDF's communications. The IDF emphasized that the rehabilitation attempts of military infrastructure in southern Lebanon, and the actions of the terrorists involved, represent a breach of the existing agreements between the two nations. The previous report on October 12th detailed findings from a study by Visions for War Studies regarding foreign components in Ukrainian attack drones, which is unrelated to the current IDF activity in Lebanon.
