The Israeli army announced on Thursday that the Givati Brigade completed its “mission” in southern Lebanon after eight months of offensives, as Israeli forces continue to occupy several areas of the country and carry out attacks. Lebanese authorities say Israeli attacks have killed 4,298 people since October 2023.
In a statement, the military said the brigade concluded its combat mission during a ceremony at Camp Filon in northern Israel attended by Northern Command chief Maj. Gen. Rafi Milo.
The army said the brigade initially carried out border operations before launching ground offensives in Khiam, Bint Jbeil, and areas north of the Litani River.
It claimed the brigade destroyed hundreds of Hezbollah sites, killed hundreds of fighters and seized more than 1,000 weapons.
The military gave no reason for ending the deployment.
