The IDF says it carried out airstrikes on a series of Hezbollah sites in Lebanon in response to its attacks on northern Israel.

The targets in Ayta ash-Shab, Yaroun and Ramyah included rocket launch positions, military sites and other infrastructure used by the terror group, according to the IDF.

Several more projectiles were fired by Hezbollah at the Metula and Margaliot areas on the border.

The IDF says a drone struck the cell behind the attack on Metula.
