The IDF confirms carrying out an airstrike against a vehicle in southern Lebanon this afternoon, saying that it had crossed into Israel’s self-described security zone.

The vehicle with several suspects in it crossed the ceasefire line in the Ali Taher ridge area, and “posed a threat to IDF troops,” the military says.

The Israeli Air Force then struck the vehicle, “to remove the threat.” Lebanese media reported two dead in the strike.
