Israeli forces carried out operations on three fronts over the past week, targeting militant infrastructure and personnel in the Gaza Strip, Judea and Samaria, and Southern Lebanon.
In Gaza, IDF troops dismantled more than half a mile of underground tunnel infrastructure, according to the military. The IDF’s Southern Command also continued efforts to locate and destroy additional militant facilities in the Khan Yunis area.
The army said approximately 20 operatives were killed during the operations. Those targeted included Hamas personnel involved in restoring the group’s military capabilities, as well as gunmen who took part in the October 7, 2023, assault on communities in southern Israel.

In Judea and Samaria, Israeli security forces detained more than 60 Palestinian suspects. The IDF said the arrests included individuals affiliated with Hamas, a suspect accused of throwing stones, and others believed to be involved in the possession or trafficking of weapons.
Security forces also seized approximately 162,000 shekels, which the military described as funds intended to support militant activity. Five drones, explosive-manufacturing materials, ammunition, incitement materials, pistols and M-16 rifles were also confiscated.
Meanwhile, the Israeli Air Force carried out four strikes in Southern Lebanon against operatives who, according to the IDF, posed an immediate threat to Israeli troops. Three Hezbollah command facilities were also targeted.
On Friday, Israel struck 10 Hezbollah infrastructure sites and a vehicle allegedly used to transport weapons. The military said the strikes followed a breach of the existing Israel-Lebanon security arrangements.
The targets were located near Bint Jbeil, Beit Yahoun, Kounine and Braachit in southeastern Lebanon, within an area where Israeli forces are maintaining a security presence.
According to the IDF, the facilities had been used by Hezbollah to prepare attacks against Israeli troops operating in the area.
The weapons vehicle was struck overnight Friday. Secondary explosions following the attack indicated that munitions had been stored inside, the military said.

Earlier in the week, Israeli forces dismantled an underground Hezbollah drone facility beneath the village of Majdal Zoun in western Southern Lebanon.
The compound, discovered in June roughly five miles north of the Israeli border, reportedly extended beneath civilian structures, including a mosque and a school. The IDF said Hezbollah had used the site to assemble, store and launch drones against Israel and Israeli troops.
The military said it would continue acting against threats to both Israeli civilians and soldiers.
