A Hezbollah rocket-launching squad was targeted in an overnight airstrike after they fired projectiles at troops in southern Lebanon, the military says.

According to the IDF, an Israeli Air Force drone identified the Hezbollah operatives after they launched rockets at troops, and a short while later struck and killed them.

No soldiers were hurt by the rocket fire, the army adds.
