The Israeli army claims control of the Bofort Ridge in southern Lebanon and will continue to strike Hezbollah targets.
On June 1 local time, IDF spokesperson Defrin stated that the IDF's 36th Division has recently conducted operations in southern Lebanon, achieving operational control over the Bofort Ridge and Saluki River areas. Defrin claimed that this area is an important stronghold of Hezbollah, and since Israel launched the so-called "Roaring Lion" operation at the end of February this year, over 400 rockets have been fired from the area towards northern Israel.
Defrin stated that the related operations were planned over a long period and approved by the IDF Chief of Staff, and the IDF will continue to compress Hezbollah's capabilities and increase the intensity of strikes.
Defrin mentioned that two IDF soldiers were killed in the recent military operations in the Bofort Ridge area.
Defrin indicated that the IDF will continue to carry out strikes within Lebanon, from the southern suburbs of Beirut in the "Dahiyeh" area to the city of Tyre, with the goal of eliminating threats to Israel and IDF forces. He also urged residents of northern Israel to remain vigilant and follow the instructions of the rear command. (CCTV reporter Zhao Bing)
