The IDF says one of its two drone strikes in southern Lebanon yesterday killed a Hezbollah operative.

The military had conducted two separate strikes in the southern Lebanon town of Yater, saying they targeted members of the terror group.

One of the strikes killed a Hezbollah operative involved in restoring the terror group’s infrastructure in the area, the army says, adding that his activities “constituted a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.”

The army publishes footage of the strike.

The second strike wounded one person, according to Lebanese authorities.
