Hezbollah takes responsibility for an explosive device that detonated on an IDF armored vehicle in southern Lebanon yesterday.
In a statement, the terror group says that a convoy of eight Israeli armored vehicles driving between Taybeh and Deir Siryan was hit by a “series of explosive devices planted earlier” by its operatives.
The military in response to a query confirms that one armored vehicle was “likely hit by an explosive device,” and that no injuries were caused.
The IDF says the incident is under further investigation.
