The IDF says three drones launched from Lebanon set off sirens in several towns near the coast of the Mount Carmel region this evening.

Some of the drones were intercepted by air defenses, and further details are under investigation, the military adds.

The incident marks the deepest Hezbollah drone attack on Israel amid the war.

Meanwhile, the IDF says strikes continue in Lebanon. In the past two hours, fighter jets hit dozens of Hezbollah targets in the Beqaa Valley and in the south of the country, it says.

The military says the strikes have destroyed buildings where Hezbollah stored weapons, along with rocket launchers aimed at Israel.

In Bint Jbeil, the IDF says it is currently striking Hezbollah weapon depots, after the terror group launched rockets from the southern Lebanon town at Safed and Rosh Pina.
