The Israel Defense Forces says it has carried out strikes against two more Hezbollah squads in southern Lebanon before they could carry out attacks on Israel.

The IDF says one of the cells, in the Mount Dov area, planned to launch rockets, and the second cell, near the northern town of Mattat, planned to launch an anti-tank guided missile.

The strikes mark the sixth and seventh Hezbollah cells that the IDF has hit today.
