Israel has revealed its special operations commandos have been destroying Hezbollah terror cells inside Lebanon for the past year — and that nearly 3,000 terrorists were ready to invade the Jewish state after Oct. 7.

Israeli forces have carried out 70 small raids since the beginning of the war, have destroying Hezbollah tunnels and weapons bases in southern Lebanon, according to military spokesman Daniel Hagari.

The revelation comes as Israel launched an invasion of its northern neighbor, which is said would be limited in scope, and designed to destroy Hezbollah’s ability to strike northern Israel.

“Our soldiers entered Hezbollah’s underground infrastructure; exposed Hezbollah’s hidden weapons caches and seized and destroyed the weapons including advanced, Iranian-made weapons,” Hagari said.

Videos and details of the attacks were being declassified and released just hours after Israel said it had launched a ground operation against the Iran-backed terror group.
