IDF says 2 Hezbollah operatives targeted in south Lebanon airstrike

The Israel Defense Forces says two members of Hezbollah were targeted in an airstrike in south Lebanon.

The military says the two were “operating an engineering vehicle” in the Zibqin area while they were “attempting to restore terrorist infrastructure.”

Earlier, Lebanese media reported that one person was killed in a strike on a bulldozer.

Israel has continued to carry out strikes on Hezbollah operatives and members of affiliated terror groups since a ceasefire in November, following two months of open war aimed at ending rocket attacks from the Iran-backed group for nearly a year.

The terror group started firing rockets and drones at Israeli communities and military posts on October 8, 2023, in support of fellow terror group Hamas, which had invaded Israel from the Gaza Strip a day earlier.
