IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi said Friday that the military estimates some 1,500 Hezbollah operatives were killed since the ground operation in Lebanon. 

“We estimate around 1,500 Hezbollah operatives were killed, and that’s a conservative figure. We are determined to hit Hezbollah as hard as possible. We've eliminated their entire senior command, and we are taking out their local command structure. Hezbollah is concealing the deaths of their leaders.” 

Halevi also held a situational assessment with Northern Command leaders.
