Two Hezbollah gunmen were targeted in an Israeli strike this morning after being identified near troops in southern Lebanon, the military says.

The IDF says troops of the Givati Brigade’s Reconnaissance Unit, operating in the Ali Taher ridge area near Nabatieh, spotted the two armed Hezbollah operatives, who “posed a threat to forces operating in the security zone.”

The Israeli Air Force and the troops then struck the operatives “to remove the threat,” the military adds.
