An Israel Defense Forces spokesperson said on April 13 that after Israel completes military operations against Hezbollah in Bint Jbeil — a town roughly five kilometers (three miles) from the Israel-Lebanon border — in the upcoming days, the IDF will have completed major military operations against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, The Jerusalem Post reported the same day. Even so, the spokesperson said the IDF will likely conduct additional smaller operations to clear weapons and combat remaining Hezbollah fighters in the area.
