The Israeli military says troops from the 401st Brigade have completed an eight-month mission in southern Lebanon. According to the IDF, the brigade operated under the 91st Division in what it described as a major phase of activity along the northern front.
The operation reportedly combined defensive actions with broader combat missions in southern Lebanon. The IDF said the brigade destroyed more than 1,200 terror-related infrastructure sites during the deployment and killed dozens of Hezbollah militants.
Israeli officials have presented the mission as a significant step in efforts to weaken Hezbollah's operational presence near the border. The announcement highlights the scale and duration of the brigade's role after months of sustained military activity in the area.
The end of the 401st Brigade's mission marks a notable point in Israel's campaign in southern Lebanon, though tensions on the Israel-Lebanon front remain closely watched. The military statement focused on the brigade's completed objectives and the impact it says the operation had on Hezbollah infrastructure.
