An IDF soldier was lightly injured in a Hezbollah drone attack in southern Lebanon yesterday, the military says.

The IDF says Hezbollah launched several explosive-laden drones at troops stationed in southern Lebanon amid the ceasefire yesterday, in several incidents. The drones exploded near the troops, lightly injuring one in one incident, the army says.

The soldier was taken to a hospital, and his family was notified, the IDF adds.

Meanwhile, in a wave of airstrikes yesterday, the IDF says it struck Hezbollah infrastructure, including rocket launchers, in areas of southern Lebanon north of the Israeli-held security zone.

The targets included primed rocket launchers, weapon depots, and other buildings used by Hezbollah to advance attacks on troops and Israel, the military says.

Separately, in the western sector of southern Lebanon, troops of the 146th Division spotted three Hezbollah operatives who the IDF says were planning attacks on troops. “Immediately after the identification, the Israeli Air Force struck and eliminated the terrorists,” the military adds.
