The IDF carried out a wave of strikes in southern Lebanon in response to Hezbollah drone launches earlier Sunday, Lebanese media reported Sunday evening.
According to the reports, the strikes targeted the area of Kfar Rumman, near Nabatieh. Two people were reportedly killed, and another was wounded in a strike in Nabatieh, which Lebanese media said was carried out by an unmanned aerial vehicle.
Earlier Sunday, Hezbollah launched two explosive drones toward IDF forces operating in southern Lebanon. IDF forces fired at one of the drones and intercepted it, with no injuries reported among Israeli troops.
The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit said Sunday morning that “this is a blatant violation by the Hezbollah terrorist organization. The IDF is operating now and will continue to operate with force against the Hezbollah terrorist organization’s repeated attempts to harm our forces.”
IDF strikes Hezbollah infrastructure in southern Lebanon
Strikes were also reported in southern Lebanon over the weekend. The IDF said Saturday that it had struck terrorists and Hezbollah infrastructure overnight, including weapons storage facilities used for planning and directing terrorist attack routes.
The strikes were carried out in response to Hezbollah’s attempt the previous day to target IDF forces using a drone. No injuries were reported among Israeli troops in that incident.
