The IDF confirms killing two Hezbollah operatives in separate drone strikes in southern Lebanon yesterday.

According to the military, the first strike in the Bint Jbeil area killed a member of the terror group who was involved in restoring Hezbollah infrastructure.

The second strike, in Blida, killed a Hezbollah operative who was identified collecting intelligence on Israeli forces, the IDF says.

The military says the actions of both operatives “constituted a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.”
