In the wake of a ceasefire agreement that went into effect this week, the Israeli army released a comprehensive report summarizing its military operations against Hezbollah over the past 14 months. The Israeli military said it targeted over 12,500 Hezbollah sites, including 1,600 command centers and 1,000 weapons depots.

According to the report, Israel’s ground offensive in southern Lebanon involved 14 brigade-level task forces and more than 100 special operations. The Israeli army claimed that 2,500 Hezbollah operatives were confirmed killed, though estimates place the number closer to 3,500. Among the casualties were senior Hezbollah figures, including its longtime leader, Hassan Nasrallah, and 13 members of the group’s top leadership.

The report also detailed other notable losses for Hezbollah, including four division-level commanders, 24 brigade commanders, 27 battalion commanders, 63 company commanders, and 22 platoon commanders. The Israeli army also reported seizing large quantities of weaponry and equipment, including 12,000 explosive devices and drones, 13,000 rockets and missile systems, and 121,000 pieces of communications equipment and computers.
