As diplomatic initiatives for an arrangement with Lebanon continue, IDF forces are maintaining their systematic sweep operations across southern Lebanon, conducting searches for terrorist infrastructure, weapons caches, and rocket launching sites in the region's complex urban and mountainous terrain – areas previously used to launch attacks against northern Israeli communities. The forces have located and neutralized dozens of weapons deposits and enemy installations in the Salukie region and Litani River area, a location that has emerged as a crucial battlefield in the confrontation with Hezbollah.

In the Salukie sector, the Commando Brigade task force conducted raids targeting terrorist infrastructure. The operation resulted in the seizure of hundreds of weapons, the discovery of dozens of underground facilities, and the location of multiple rocket launchers positioned for immediate use.
At the Litani River, a joint task force acted on intelligence information to target numerous terrorist installations concealed within the challenging terrain. The forces engaged terrorist targets in close-quarter combat, successfully locating and destroying dozens of launchers, thousands of rockets and missiles, and weapons stockpiles hidden in the mountainside, including artillery equipment.
