IDF says Hezbollah's missile capability has been reduced

The missile potential of the Lebanese Shiite movement Hezbollah has been reduced as a result of strikes carried out by the Israeli army. Major Anna Ukolova, a representative of the IDF press service, told Izvestia.

"The IDF actions in the war against the Hezbollah terrorist organization are causing severe damage to their missile capabilities. These include strikes through the air force and a ground operation that destroys and retrieves rockets and shells, among other things," the IDF spokeswoman said.

According to Anna Ukolova, strikes on Hezbollah arms supply routes inside Syria also contribute to the weakening of the Shiite movement.

In recent weeks, the Israeli army has repeatedly shelled transportation routes that Hezbollah allegedly used to transfer military equipment to Lebanon. The Syrian state news agency (SANA) reported on Nov. 13 that one such raid caused significant damage to bridges and roads along the border with Lebanon.
