Hezbollah claims to have targeted an Israeli military bulldozer in the southern Lebanon town of Bint Jbeil this afternoon, while it was demolishing homes.
The terror group says it hit the bulldozer with an explosive-laden drone.
There is no immediate comment from the IDF on the incident.
Defense Minister Israel Katz has said that the IDF will raze all of the Lebanese border villages — with the exception of several Christian communities — to prevent Hezbollah from staging attacks from the area. The IDF has insisted that it is only destroying Hezbollah infrastructure, which it says is often embedded within civilian homes.
