IDF Secures Strategic Wadi Saluki Corridor in Southern Lebanon, Eliminates 50+ Hezbollah Operatives and Destroys Hundreds of Terror Targets
The IDF announced that its forces have established operational control over the Wadi Saluki area in southern Lebanon, approximately 10 kilometers north of the Israeli border, following an extensive operation targeting Hezbollah infrastructure.
According to the military, troops from the 7th Armored Brigade and the Egoz Commando Unit completed a mission to clear the area north of the Saluki stream, a region the IDF says was heavily used by Hezbollah for launching explosive drones and rocket attacks against Israeli forces.
The operation is part of Israel’s broader effort to strengthen security in southern Lebanon and eliminate threats to northern Israeli communities, including Metula and towns throughout the Galilee Panhandle.
During the offensive, Israeli ground forces, working alongside the Israeli Air Force, struck hundreds of Hezbollah positions and eliminated more than 50 Hezbollah operatives. Troops also seized a significant cache of weapons, including anti-tank missiles, explosives, and other military equipment, the IDF said.
