Israel Today: Ongoing War Report - Update from 2026-02-16 at 03:01

HEADLINES
- Israel kills Hezbollah operative in southern Lebanon
- Rafah crossing shows net deficit of 99
- Three Hezbollah militants killed rebuilding infrastructure
The time is now 3:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In the conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, the Israeli military said it killed a Hezbollah operative in southern Lebanon on Monday after what it described as repeated truce breaches. In recent days, PIJ operatives targeted near Majdal Anjar, east of Beirut, and Hezbollah weapons depots and rocket launchers were struck. The army said Hezbollah continues efforts to rebuild its military infrastructure. The US-brokered agreement requires Hezbollah to demilitarize and the Lebanese Armed Forces to establish control, with Israel describing progress as encouraging but far from sufficient. In the past week, IDF forces from the 91st Division killed three Hezbollah militants involved in rebuilding infrastructure and destroyed several buildings and engineering tools used to advance the group’s operations in southern Lebanon. The army said it will continue to remove any threat to the state.
In the Disputed Territories (Gaza, Judea and Samaria, East Jerusalem), Hamas’s media office released crossing data for Rafah since reopening on 2 February: 455 people left the Gaza Strip, 356 entered, and 26 were refused. The crossing has produced a negative balance of 99 people in the crossing over nearly two weeks, suggesting that plans to drain the crossing through Rafah have not materialized.
