The IDF says fighter jets carried out strikes on two “significant” military compounds belonging to Hezbollah in Lebanon, in response to the terror group’s attack on northern Israel today.
The sites, according to the IDF, housed infrastructure used by Hezbollah’s air defense unit
The IDF says fighter jets and other aircraft hit further Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon’s Rab El Thalathine, Ramyah, Meiss el-Jabal and Ayta ash-Shab.
The targets include Hezbollah cells, rocket launch positions, a command center and other infrastructure used by the terror group, according to the IDF.
Several missiles were fired by Hezbollah in the last few hours at Yiftah and Avivim, with no reports of injuries.
The IDF says Hezbollah also fired a surface-to-air missile at an Israeli military drone over Lebanon, which did not hit.
