IDF Operations in Lebanon: Strategic Moves Against Hezbollah
The IDF is planning operations to cut off access roads to Bint Jbeil by capturing the town of Ein Ebel and then advancing through At-Tiri. This operation will involve combined infantry and armored units with heavy air support. The area is heavily fortified by Hezbollah, which poses challenges, especially since Israel previously faced defeat in Bint Jbeil in 2006. The operation is significant given the historical context and current tensions.

—❗️🇮🇱/🇱🇧/🇮🇷 MAP: The IDF aims to cut off the access roads to Bint Jbeil by capturing the predominantly Christian town of Ein Ebel without resistance, and then pushing through the town of At-Tiri to cut off the Northern access road
An combined infantry-armored push with heavy air support will then happen on Bint Jbeil from the directions of Aitaroun and Maroun Al-Ras.
The hills surrounding the northern boundaries of At-Tiri have a heavy Hezbollah presence, and would be challenging to capture.
Israel notably lost to Hezbollah in 2006 while trying to capture Bint Jbeil.
