Iran and Hezbollah set up secret routes through Syria to Lebanon, moving thousands of trucks and planes filled with missiles and weapons components over the years to strategic storage sites.
This initiative reflects growing demands among Lebanese communities for the demilitarization of Hezbollah to promote national stability and sovereignty.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have recently launched precision strikes to dismantle these sites, confirming the presence of weapons through secondary explosions.
The IDF said the terrorist commander had promoted and carried out many acts of terrorism, including firing anti-tank missiles at Israeli civilians and at IDF troops operating in southern Lebanon.
An Israeli farmer and four foreign workers were killed, and another foreign worker seriously injured near Metula. Two people were killed in a Haifa suburb.
