The Israel Defense Forces released dramatic footage showing the 91st Brigade carrying out a precise and coordinated nighttime operation in southern Lebanon, destroying a Hezbollah-controlled pier and a weapons depot used to support the terrorist group’s smuggling activity. The strike, conducted on December 7, 2025, reinforces Israel’s commitment to neutralizing Hezbollah infrastructure and upholding the fragile November 2024 ceasefire, which Hezbollah has repeatedly attempted to exploit.

The released night-vision footage shows Israeli soldiers moving quietly through rugged terrain under low-visibility conditions, maintaining strict operational discipline as they advanced toward the pier site. According to the IDF, the structure had served as a logistical node for potential weapons transfers and maritime smuggling operations, posing a direct security threat to northern Israel. The troops planted carefully positioned explosive charges along the concrete platform before withdrawing to a safe distance. Moments later, a controlled detonation erupted across the site, collapsing the pier in a series of blasts that illuminated the shoreline with green nighttime flares.

Nearby, IDF forces located and demolished an additional weapons depot previously used by Hezbollah operatives. The controlled explosion leveled the facility and eliminated stored materials intended for future attacks against Israel. The IDF reported no casualties among its forces and emphasized that every measure was taken to avoid civilian harm, highlighting Israel’s ongoing efforts to operate with precision even when dealing with entrenched terrorist infrastructure.

This operation reflects Israel’s strategic focus on preventing Hezbollah from rebuilding offensive capabilities along the border and ensuring that the terrorist organization cannot use the cover of a ceasefire to rearm. The 91st Brigade’s action is part of a broader campaign to monitor, disrupt, and dismantle Hezbollah’s smuggling routes, weapons stockpiles, and military positions, all of which violate international agreements and destabilize the region.

For Israel, these targeted strikes send a clear message: the IDF will continue to defend its northern communities, dismantle threats before they mature, and act decisively against any attempt by Hezbollah to endanger Israeli lives or undermine regional security.
