The Israel Defense Forces says it has struck a terror cell in southern Lebanon preparing to carry out an anti-tank guided missile attack, in the Mount Dov area on the border.

IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari says in a press conference that the military struck five cells in southern Lebanon over the past day, amid repeated rocket and missile attacks by Hezbollah and allied Palestinian terror groups.

The tensions on the northern border come as Hezbollah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad leaders publicize their first meeting since the start of the war.
