Operation Northern Arrows, launched by the Israeli Air Force (IAF) on 19 September 2024, aims to dismantle Hezbollah’s military capabilities and protect Israeli civilians. The IAF has struck tens of thousands of rocket launchers and weapons depots across Lebanon, responsible for attacks on Haifa and other areas. Precision airstrikes have also eliminated key Hezbollah commanders, including members of the elite Radwan Unit, and taken down their leadership in Beirut. This decisive action, with hundreds of Hezbollah operatives killed, is part of Israel’s broader effort to restore security and stability in the region.
