The Israel Defense Forces says it struck two Hezbollah anti-tank guided missile squads in southern Lebanon, near the Biranit military base and the northern community of Yiftah.
It adds that Hezbollah operatives opened fire at an IDF drone over the Mount Dov area earlier today. In response, another aircraft struck the source of the fire, and artillery shelled the area, the IDF says.
Meanwhile, an anti-tank missile was fired from southern Lebanon at the Mitzpe Adi base, near Margaliot. The IDF says it is responding with artillery shelling.
There are no reports of injuries in the attack.
Last night, the IDF says it also struck a terror cell in southern Lebanon approaching the border near Rosh Hanikra.
