IDF confirms south Lebanon strikes, says Hezbollah fired some 50 projectiles at troops overnight

The IDF says it is “committed to the ceasefire agreement” in Lebanon after launching waves of strikes against Hezbollah, which it says came in response to “repeated violations” of the truce by the terror group.

In several incidents overnight, Hezbollah launched some 50 projectiles at Israeli troops operating in southern Lebanon, the military says in a statement.

“These constitute repeated violations of the ceasefire agreement by the Hezbollah terror organization. The IDF will not accept harm to Israeli civilians and its forces, and will respond forcefully to any use of force against them,” the statement says.

The military does not provide information on any casualties in Hezbollah’s attacks, nor does it comment on the terror group’s claims that it attempted to advance toward the Ali Taher ridge near Nabatieh overnight.

The IDF says that in response to the “blatant violations” and to “remove threats,” the IDF struck dozens of Hezbollah sites and operatives across southern Lebanon.

The targets included rocket launchers, weapon depots, and command centers, according to the military.

Lebanese media reported some two dozen killed in the Israeli strikes overnight and this morning.

“The IDF is committed to the ceasefire agreement in accordance with the directives of the political echelon and will continue to act to remove any threat to the State of Israel and IDF troops,” the military says.
