The Hezbollah terror group in Lebanon has adopted a new strategy, tracking the movements of IDF commanders in southern Lebanon and along the border in order to target them with lethal strikes, according to a report by the Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center.

Hezbollah’s goal is to eliminate senior IDF officers via explosive drones, UAVs, and artillery fire.

Kan News reported that as part of the new strategy, Hezbollah recently attempted to hit Iron Dome launchers as well as the official vehicle of the commander of the 300th Brigade. The group also carried out coordinated attacks via rockets, artillery, and drones aimed at multiple sites simultaneously in an attempt to overwhelm the IDF’s air defense systems.

Hezbollah also recently began deploying multi-directional “suicide drone swarms,” launching multiple drones from different directions at the same time.

Over the past week alone, Hezbollah claimed responsibility for 136 attacks on  IDF forces in southern Lebanon and targets in northern Israel, most involving explosive drones and unmanned aircraft.

Hezbollah continues to develop electronic warfare and air defense capabilities as part of a broader effort to increase operational pressure on the IDF along the northern border.
