IDF confirms it shot back at southern Lebanon
The IDF confirms in a statement that it has responded with artillery fire at southern Lebanon.
“The IDF sees the Lebanese Army as solely responsible for any actions taken on its territory, and we will continue to act against any harm to the sovereignty of the State of Israel and the security of its citizens,” the army says in a statement.
The statement does not detail what sites in Lebanon have been hit.
Lebanese media earlier reported heavy Israeli air activity in Lebanese skies.
The army says Israelis in the north should not alter their routines in response to the flare-up.
