Three Hezbollah operatives who were planning to launch drones at troops in southern Lebanon were killed in drone strikes yesterday, the military says.

The IDF says troops of the Givati Brigade identified the operatives in an area north of the Litani River, and a short while later, the Israeli Air Force “eliminated the terrorists with precise attacks while they tried to escape from the area.”

The Givati soldiers also located a weapons depot, containing rockets and explosive-laden FPV drones, the army says. The arms cache was then destroyed in a strike, the IDF adds.
