Hezbollah launched several rockets, mortars, and explosive drones at Israeli troops stationed in southern Lebanon this morning, the military says.

The IDF says the projectiles struck near the forces, but did not cause any injuries.

Overnight, an apparent Hezbollah drone was intercepted over southern Lebanon, and a short while ago, an interceptor missile was fired at another drone with which contact was lost, the military says.

Meanwhile, the IDF says it killed several Hezbollah operatives in strikes on buildings being used by the terror group in the western sector of southern Lebanon yesterday.

Elsewhere in southern Lebanon, the IDF says it struck 25 Hezbollah targets in the past day, including weapon depots.
