For years, Hezbollah's Southern Front built an extensive array of infrastructure and underground headquarters in southern Lebanon aimed at harming IDF forces during combat and carrying out an attack plan against Galilee settlements, explained the IDF

Also, according to estimates made over the last day, 50 infrastructures of Hezbollah's Aziz unit, 30 targets of its Nasser unit and 5 targets of the Badar unit were destroyed in the attacks

In addition, about 10 targets of the Radwan force, its intelligence headquarters and about 30 targets of the medium-range rocket array in southern Lebanon were attacked

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that the country's forces have successfully targeted and eliminated potential successors to the recently deceased Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah

In a video message released on Tuesday (local time), Netanyahu said, "We've degraded Hezbollah's capabilities. We took out thousands of terrorists, including Nasrallah himself and Nasrallah's replacement, and the replacement of the replacement"
