According to the IDF's estimates, more than 300 Hezbollah operatives have been killed, including five senior commanders, and another 750 have been wounded by Israel's strikes.

Over the past five months, the Northern Command has led strikes from the air against more than 1,200 targets and another 3,100 sites from the ground using artillery and tanks, the IDF says.

The targets include weapons depots, buildings used by Hezbollah for attacks, more than 150 observation posts along the border, some 70 command centers where terror operatives were gathered, more than 50 significant rocket launching positions, and dozens of squads carrying out anti-tank missile attacks, the IDF says.

More than 450 sites belonging to Hezbollah's elite Radwan force, which is believed by Israel to be tasked with potentially infiltrating into Israel, were also hit, the IDF says.

The IDF notes that some of the 4,500 Hezbollah targets were stuck in Syria.

The IDF says its "intense strikes" against Hezbollah are causing damage to the terror group's "air and ground capabilities as well as its top command."

"The IDF is constantly working to push Hezbollah's forces and its systems out of southern Lebanon, and has carried out significant attacks in this area," the military says.

Recently, the IDF has also stepped up attacks in northeastern Lebanon's Baalbek, a Hezbollah stronghold.

The IDF says it is also "well aware of the great and ongoing difficulty of the residents of the north" who have been displaced due to Hezbollah's daily attacks.

It says the military "appreciates the resilience that the residents demonstrate" and is "committed to continuing to operate for a good and stable security reality."
