IDF: Yesterday (Thursday), the Israeli Air Force, acting on IDF intelligence, struck and eliminated the terrorist Murtada Hussein Srour, a terrorist in the aerial unit of the Hezbollah terrorist organization (127), in the area of the Lebanese University in Beirut.

The terrorist Murtada Hussein Srour operated under the Hezbollah terrorist organization and served as a leading figure and an expert in the field of weapons manufacturing within the organization. Additionally, Murtada was the brother of the terrorist Mohammad Hussein Srour, commander of Hezbollah’s aerial unit, who was eliminated in Operation Northern Arrows.

Beyond his activity in Hezbollah, Murtada Hussein Srour was employed as a chemistry lecturer at the Lebanese University in Beirut. Alongside him, there are many other operatives who, in addition to their roles in Hezbollah as experts in manufacturing, are simultaneously employed as lecturers at various universities in Lebanon. 
Hezbollah’s weapons manufacturing operatives operate from various locations on Lebanese soil in order to increase the organization’s independence in supplying its own weapons.

The Hezbollah terrorist organization systematically takes control of civilian areas throughout Lebanon in order to execute terrorist activities and attacks, embedding its operatives and commanders within the civilian environment.

21:27

IDF: In a graphic published earlier today with the names and photos of key Hezbollah and IRGC terrorists who were eliminated, two errors were identified.

Alongside the name Ahmed Rasouli, the intelligence chief of the Palestine Corps in the Quds Force, who was indeed eliminated this week, was a photograph of an unconnected person which was mistakenly included. 

Regarding Abu Dhar Mohammadi, who was indeed eliminated, a photograph of an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander who was also eliminated was mistakenly placed next to his name.

The photos were immediately removed when the mistakes were noticed, and the graphic was corrected. 

The IDF apologizes for the incident, which is being reviewed, and lessons will be learned and implemented.

20:30

IDF: The IDF has begun strikes on Iranian terror regime terror targets in Tehran.

IDF: Since the  start of Operation Roaring Lion, the IDF has eliminated over 350 Hezbollah terrorists, including senior operatives from the terrorist organization's commanders who were eliminated were part of the various operational arrays and were recently involved in advancing terror attacks against the State of Israel. 

Over the past week, the IDF carried out a series of targeted strikes from the air, sea, and ground, during which numerous terrorists were eliminated, including key commanders from various terrorist organizations operating from Lebanese territory.

Among the key commanders eliminated: 
* Zid Ali Jomaa – Commander of Hezbollah’s Firepower Management
* Ali Reza Bi-Azhar – Head of the Intelligence Branch of the Lebanon Corps within the Quds Force
* Ahmad Rasouli – Responsible for Intelligence in the Palestine Corps of the Quds Force
* Ali Maglas Tabaja – Commander of the Imam Hussein Division

In addition, seven prominent commanders from the Hezbollah terrorist organization, five commanders of the Palestine and Lebanon Corps of the Quds Force, three commanders of the Imam Hussein Division, and one commander of the Islamic Jihad. 

The IDF also struck the senior command of Iranian regime representatives in Lebanon, thereby undermining the regime’s grip and influence in Lebanon and across the Middle East.

The eliminations and strikes in Lebanon significantly degrade the command-and-control and firepower abilities of the Hezbollah terrorist organization, and it minimizes the threats to the State of Israel and its civilians. 

These various terrorist organizations operate from within the civilian population in Lebanon, advancing terror activities against the State of Israel while cynically exploiting civilians as human shields. 
The IDF will not allow harm to the civilians of the State of Israel and will continue to operate to remove any threat.

Attached is a graphic of the 15 key commanders who were eliminated since the start of the Operation Roaring Lion:

IDF: Overnight and during the early morning hours, more than 90 Israeli Air Force fighter jets, acting on IDF intelligence, used around 200 munitions in two separate wave strikes targeting infrastructure belonging to the Iranian terror regime across Tehran.

As part of the strikes, the IDF targeted numerous command centers of the regime’s security apparatus, including:

* A regional headquarters of the IRGC and the Basij Forces 
* Key headquarters of the Basij Forces
* Headquarters of the Iranian terror regime’s Internal Security Forces

Additionally, the Israeli Air Force struck air defense systems and infrastructure at the first air defense base that was established by the Iranian terror regime in Tehran, as well as a site used for research and development testing of ballistic missiles.

These completed strikes are part of the ongoing phase, which is focused on deepening the damage to the core assets of the Iranian terror regime.

IDF: Within 24 hours: The IDF eliminated two key commanders responsible for rocket launches toward the State of Israel

Yesterday (Thursday), the IDF struck in the area north of the Litani river and eliminated Rahif Ali Qassem the Commander of the Missile and Rocket array in Hezbollah’s Badr Unit, and Mohammad Baqer Ahmad Ali Malabi, the unit’s Fire Management Commander.

Hezbollah’s Badr Unit has carried out numerous launch attacks toward the State of Israel since the beginning of Operation Roaring Lion. 
The terrorists who were eliminated operated after the "Northern Arrows" operation to rehabilitate the launch capabilities toward Israeli territory. Additionally, In their roles, they were involved in the launch barrage toward Israeli territory earlier this week (Wednesday).

The Hezbollah terrorist organization chose to join the campaign and operate under the sponsorship of the Iranian terrorist regime.
The IDF will continue to act against the Hezbollah terrorist organization and its assets in order to thwart its operatives, further degrade its capabilities, and reduce threats to the State of Israel and its civilians as much as possible.

18:33

 As part of the strikes, multiple weapons storage facilities, dozens of ballistic missiles, and missile launchers were targeted and struck. 

In addition, the IDF struck UAV storage facilities, defense systems, and additional systems that were used to produce weapons. 

Since the start of Operation Roaring Lion, the Israeli Air Force has completed hundreds of waves of strikes targeting Iranian terror regime infrastructure in order to reduce missile fire toward Israeli territory.

17:57

IDF: The IDF continues to deepen its strikes on the systems and capabilities of the Iranian terror regime.

Overnight, the Israeli Air Force, acting on IDF intelligence, struck and eliminated several soldiers while they were operating at the roadblocks that were recently established in Tehran. The soldiers were eliminated after the IDF identified their presence and activity at these roadblocks.

Basij forces are part of the Iranian regime’s security apparatus and for years have been responsible for carrying out terrorist activity. 
In addition, these forces lead the regime’s main repression operations against internal protests, particularly recently, using severe violence, mass arrests, and the use of force against civilian demonstrators.

The IDF will continue to degrade the Iranian terror regime's military systems and operatives anywhere they operate. 

The strikes completed are part of the ongoing goal of further degrading the Iranian regime’s core systems and foundations of the Iranian terrorist regime.

Video statement by IDF Spokesperson, BG Effie Defrin: https://bit.ly/40xrzWb

Full remarks by IDF Spokesperson, BG Effie Defrin:

“Good afternoon. I want to update you briefly before the start of Shabbat. We are completing the second week of Operation Roaring Lion. Overnight, the Israeli Air Force conducted a wave of strikes across three separate areas in Iran simultaneously.

We struck last night a facility of the Hatem Al-Nabia Intelligence Directorate, the Emergency Command headquarters. This body is responsible for aggregating intelligence collected by various Iranian intelligence agencies to present it to the regime’s senior leadership. The strike took place while several senior officials from the Intelligence Directorate were present. At this stage, we are assessing the results of the strike.

Additionally, we targeted a central base of Iranian defensive systems, regime command centers, and missile production and storage sites intended for launch toward Israel.

The strikes against the regime are continuing and intensifying. In Lebanon, we continue to target and deepen the impact on Hezbollah and all remaining elements of its capabilities. Last night, we struck the Al-Zarariya Bridge over the Litani River, which Hezbollah operatives used for movement from northern Lebanon to southern Lebanon and for preparations against IDF forces. This strike also sends a message to the State of Lebanon: we will target any infrastructure that Hezbollah uses in Lebanese territory to harm Israel.

Alongside our strike efforts, we continue to strengthen the forward defense posture on the northern border, in areas adjacent to communities. In the coming days, additional combat brigades will join forces operating under the Northern Command. We are increasing troop deployment in the north daily and enhancing our readiness in both defense and offense.

Hezbollah has paid and will continue to pay a heavy price for its actions against Israeli civilians. We are reviewing the Home Front Command’s guidance and conducting ongoing situation assessments. The Home Front Command is considering easing and adjusting instructions in several areas across the country. At this stage, there is no change to the guidance, and we will update on any modifications. I would like to remind and emphasize: we must not become complacent, especially over the weekend. Despite the long-term degradation of the Iranian regime’s and Hezbollah’s strike capabilities, the threat remains. Every missile or fragment constitutes a danger to your security. We saw evidence of this just last night in Beit Zarzir. I wish a full and speedy recovery to the wounded.

Follow the instructions of the Home Front Command—they save lives. We have achieved significant results against the Iranian terror regime, which remains destabilized, and we continue to undermine and strike it. In Lebanon, Hezbollah are paying a heavy price. We continue to strike around the clock and target its operatives.

As Shabbat begins, IDF troops across all domains - air, sea, and ground - are ready and prepared to defend you, the Israeli civilians. The IDF is looking forward. We still have many objectives to strike, many threats to neutralize, and we are determined to meet all our goals. Throughout Shabbat, I will continue to update you on any developments. Shabbat Shalom to all”.

IDF: The IDF completed waves of strikes on Hezbollah infrastructure: Assets of the “Al-Quard Al-Hassan” Association and weapons storage facilities 

Yesterday (Thursday), the IDF completed dozens of waves of strikes on infrastructure belonging to the Hezbollah terrorist organization in Beirut, Beqaa, and additional areas in southern Lebanon.

In Beirut, assets of the “Al-Quard Al-Hassan”” Association and other significant financial assets of the Hezbollah terrorist organization were struck across Lebanon.
The strikes were intended to further degrade to the Hezbollah terrorist organization, which uses civilians’ funds to provide financial services to the organization and to advance terrorist activity. These strikes come in addition to a series of strikes conducted against the “Al-Quard Al-Hassan”” Association and deepens the damage to the Hezbollah terrorist organization. 

The recent strikes against the association have effectively and completely disrupted its operations, and significantly damaged the Hezbollah terrorist organization’s force build-up channels. 

In parallel, the IDF struck approximately 10 Hezbollah weapons storage facilities in the Beqaa Valley and additional areas in southern Lebanon. 
Several storage facilities were struck in the area between the Litani and Zahrani rivers, from which launches toward Israeli territory were carried out earlier this week. 

Prior to the strikes, measures were taken to mitigate the risk of harm to civilians, including advance warnings, the use of precision munitions, and aerial surveillance.

The IDF will continue to operate with determination against the Hezbollah terrorist organization which has chosen to deliberately attack Israel on behalf of the Iranian regime. The IDF will not tolerate any harm to the residents of the State of Israel.

IDF: The IDF struck a key Litani River crossing used by Hezbollah terrorists

A short while ago, the IDF struck the Zrarieh Bridge over the Litani River in Lebanon, which served as a key crossing for terrorists from the Hezbollah terrorist organization.

The Hezbollah terrorist organization uses this bridge as a crossing from northern to southern Lebanon, to build up its power and prepare for combat, endangering Lebanese civilians and causing extensive damage to the civilian environment. In order to prevent a threat to Israeli civilians and to stop the continued harm to the residents of Lebanon, it was necessary to sever the bridge.

Recently, the Hezbollah terrorist organization positioned launchers near the bridge and carried out launches from there toward the State of Israel.
