Hezbollah fired several rockets and drones at troops stationed in southern Lebanon overnight, the military says.

The IDF says no injuries were caused.

Meanwhile, the military says troops struck and killed two Hezbollah gunmen in southern Lebanon yesterday.

Troops of the Givati Brigade identified the armed operatives in their area of operations.

“After the identification, the troops struck and eliminated the two terrorists to remove the threat,” the military says.

The IDF says the Givati troops also located dozens of weapons in the past day, including assault rifles, anti-tank missiles and other equipment.
