The Israeli Defense Forces have employed vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices (VIEDs) in attacks on neighborhoods in the southern Lebanese towns of Beit Leaf and Bint Jbeil. The IDF reportedly used armored personnel carriers, specifically M113s, as car bombs to demolish structures. This represents a significant escalation in tactics during the ongoing ceasefire violations in southern Lebanon. The use of such large, remote-controlled explosive vehicles is a marked departure from more conventional artillery or airstrikes.
