A group of Hezbollah operatives spotted at a building used by the terror group in southern Lebanon’s Aitaroun were targeted in a drone strike earlier today, the IDF says.

It adds that it has also shelled areas near Blida and Kafr Kila with artillery.

Hezbollah, meanwhile, announces the death of a member in an Israeli strike, bringing the terror group’s toll since October to at least 411.

Separately, a Hezbollah surveillance drone crashed in the northern town of Beit Jann this morning. The IDF says it is investigating the incident.
