IDF sources warn that Hezbollah appears to be exploiting radio emissions to locate and target senior field commanders in southern Lebanon, a development that has raised serious concerns and will necessitate changes in operational protocols.
The military believes Hezbollah has rebuilt an intelligence-gathering and observation network along the Blue Line, using it to conduct nocturnal operations aimed at identifying high-ranking officers in the field.
An investigation into several recent incidents — including the death of the 52nd Battalion commander and three tank crew members, the severe wounding of the former 401st Brigade commander in a drone strike, and the killing of the 36th Division’s deputy commander by an explosive device — concluded that Hezbollah is likely employing sophisticated technological methods, primarily at night, to detect radio traffic and other signatures indicating the presence of senior command elements.
Several weeks ago, a drone struck Northern Command Maj. Gen. Rafi Milo’s vehicle while it was parked in southern Lebanon, mere minutes after he had exited.
An in-depth analysis by Division 146 determined that the organization’s critical assets center on its intelligence collection against IDF forces in the area, leveraging not only drones but also ground observers and cameras, augmented by intimate knowledge of the terrain.
Military officials assess that throughout the conflict, Iran has continued supplying the group with drones and advanced intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance technology capable of operating effectively at night.
Officials say these developments compel the IDF to reassess its tactics and rapidly disseminate investigative findings to all forces in the field.
