It is worth noting that on the night of August 20, the IDF attacked Hezbollah weapon storage facilities in the Bekaa Valley. As a result of the attack, a terrorist from the group's rocket unit, Hussein Ali Hussein, was eliminated.
The Israeli military also eliminated two senior members of the Palestinian group Hamas who were involved in the killing of an Israeli citizen.
Additionally, Israel recently struck Hezbollah military targets in the Maroun al-Ras and Aita al-Shaab areas in southern Lebanon.
