The IDF (Israel Defense Forces) reported that at least 50 Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon were eliminated, including 6 senior commanders from its Southern Front and Radwan Force, as a result of the "extensive air strikes" against a series of underground Hezbollah headquarters in southern Lebanon carried out on Monday.

At least 50 Hezbollah terrorists were killed in the attacks, including Ahmed Hassan Nazal, who was in charge of offensive operations from the area of Bint Jbeil.
