Hezbollah says it attacked Israel, cites what it calls Israeli violations of ceasefire

Hezbollah takes responsibility for the rocket and drone attacks earlier today, which it claims were in response to Israeli violations of the ceasefire in Lebanon.

In a statement, the terror group says it targeted an Israeli artillery position in the northern border community of Kfar Giladi with a rocket barrage and attack drones.

The IDF said several rockets targeted troops in southern Lebanon, and a drone was intercepted before crossing the border into Israel.

Hezbollah claims to have documented over 200 Israeli violations of the ceasefire since it took effect on Friday. It says the attacks on the IDF were carried out in response to those violations and its “right to resist occupation and repel it.”

Israel struck a launcher involved in the attack, but has not yet responded beyond that.
