Hizbullah Terrorists Caught Off Guard in Southern Lebanon
(Ynet News) Ron Ben-Yishai - The IDF has continued an extensive campaign against rocket launchers in Lebanon while providing air support to ground forces in the south that is no longer constrained by the war with Iran. The heaviest fighting is now in the Bint Jbeil area, where dozens of Hizbullah operatives, including members of the Radwan force, were surrounded and trapped in the town. Hizbullah had massed a sizable force there for an attack into Israeli territory. But the operatives were caught off guard. They did not detect the quiet advance of Israeli troops, who moved in and encircled them from three sides. Several dozen terrorists who tried to flee were killed, and those who remained were left fighting for their lives. Some Hizbullah operatives were filmed surrendering and throwing down their weapons. Although Israeli forces are advancing with massive fire support in an effort to reduce casualties, the battle is unfolding in a densely-built urban area, making close-quarters clashes difficult to avoid.
