Israel Defense Forces bombard Radwan Force's arms depots in Lebanon
In a significant move, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have targeted several weapons storage facilities belonging to Hezbollah's Radwan Force in southern Lebanon. The operation, carried out on Thursday, is part of a two-year-long effort by IDF troops to counter the Radwan Force's attempts to rebuild its strength.
The Radwan Force, a unit within Hezbollah, a terrorist organization, is based in southern Lebanon and has been planning and advancing the 'Conquer the Galilee' plan for years. According to the IDF, the Radwan Force's actions are intended to harm the State of Israel.
The weapons storage facilities, located in civilian areas, pose a significant threat to the safety of the local population. The IDF has stated that Hezbollah strategically exploits Lebanese civilians as human shields, and the presence of these facilities in populated areas endangers the civilians in the area.
The Radwan Force has been rehabilitating terrorist infrastructure in southern Lebanon with the intention of harming Israel, the IDF added. Since the elimination of its commanders during Operation 'Northern Arrows' in Beirut in September 2024, the Radwan Force has been operating to reestablish its capabilities.
The IDF used precise munitions, aerial surveillance, and additional intelligence to mitigate harm to civilians before the strike. The exact date of Operation 'Northern Arrows' and the elimination of the Radwan Force's commanders are not publicly available.
The presence of these weapons storage facilities in southern Lebanon violates the understandings between Israel and Lebanon. The IDF's actions are a clear demonstration of its commitment to the security and safety of its citizens, and a strong message to any hostile forces that may threaten its borders.
