The IDF publishes footage showing an airstrike on a Hezbollah gunman amid a clash with troops in southern Lebanon overnight.
Two soldiers of the Paratroopers Brigade were moderately injured during the exchange of fire, the military said earlier.
According to the IDF, the paratroopers had raided several Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon, and at one building, they encountered several Hezbollah operatives.
The paratroopers directed an Israeli Air Force drone, which struck and killed at least two of the gunmen.
The IDF says the troops later located weapons used by the operatives.
