The IDF confirms carrying out a strike in southern Lebanon this morning, which it says was a warning shot.
It is the first reported drone strike since a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah came into effect early yesterday.
“In the last hour, the arrival of suspects, some with vehicles, to several areas in southern Lebanon was identified, which constitutes a violation [of the ceasefire],” the IDF says.
The military says it opened fire at the suspects in the Markaba area with a warning shot near a vehicle that was not intended to kill those inside it.
“The IDF is deployed in southern Lebanon and enforces any violation of the ceasefire agreement,” the military adds.
Lebanese media reported at least two people were injured in the strike.
Israel has vowed to act forcefully against any violations of the ceasefire.
