A Hezbollah operative who fired an anti-tank missile at Israeli troops earlier today in southern Lebanon was killed in a drone strike, the military says.

According to the IDF, the anti-tank guided missile attack caused no damage or injuries. Hezbollah claimed in a statement to have targeted an IDF tank.

A short while later, an Israeli Air Force drone struck and killed the operative, alongside other members of the terror group who were with him, near the village of Arnoun, the army says.
