The IDF struck Hezbollah's Al-Amana fuel distribution network and destroyed a Radwan Force command post in Lebanon on Monday, continuing the methodical degradation of the organisation's logistics and command capacity south of the Litani River.
Al-Amana is Hezbollah's dedicated fuel supply chain — storage depots, distribution points, and transport routes that sustain military vehicles, generators, and field operations across the south. Without it, ground forces lose mobility and static positions lose power for communications and surveillance equipment. Conventional armies manage this dependency through formal supply corps; Hezbollah built Al-Amana as an integrated parallel infrastructure embedded within civilian areas — a structure that is difficult to replace quickly once its nodes are identified and struck.
The Radwan Force command post loss compounds recent damage to the unit. The IDF killed Radwan commander Abu Khalil Barji in Majdal Selm days earlier . Radwan Force is Hezbollah's elite special operations formation, trained for cross-border infiltration and — according to IDF-published captured documents from 2024 — responsible for planning a ground invasion of the Galilee. Removing its commanders and command nodes degrades the unit's ability to coordinate defensive operations at precisely the moment Defence Minister Katz has declared Israel's intention to hold all territory south of the Litani .
The pattern is methodical: sever road links (the Qasmiyeh Bridge — , eliminate field commanders, destroy logistics networks, demolish border villages under what Katz called the "Beit Hanoun and Rafah models" . Hezbollah responded with a record 63 operations in 24 hours elsewhere along the front , but each logistics node removed further isolates its southern forces from resupply, reinforcement, and centralised direction. The operational trajectory favours the force that can sustain attrition longer — and Hezbollah's supply lines are shortening while Israel's extend from a secure rear.
