The IDF's 36th Divison raided over 150 targets and killed dozens of terrorists during a two-month operation throughout southern Lebanon, Israel's military announced on Sunday evening.
It said the targets that were struck and the elimination of the terrorists were conducted through aerial strikes and close-quarters combat.
The 36th Division also located weapons, rocket launch sites, underground infrastructure, and combat compounds, which, the IDF emphasized, "posed a threat to the State of Israel."

The Israeli military issued new evacuation orders to residents in areas of an eastern Gaza City suburb, setting off a new wave of displacement on Sunday, and a Gaza hospital director was wounded in an Israeli drone attack, Palestinian medics said.
The new orders for the Shejaia suburb posted by the Israeli army spokesperson on X/Twitter on Saturday night were blamed on Palestinian terrorists firing rockets from that heavily built-up district in the north of the Gaza Strip.
"For your safety, you must evacuate immediately to the south," the military's post said. The rocket volley on Saturday was claimed by Hamas' armed wing, which said it had targeted an Israeli army base over the border.
