Hezbollah launched explosive-laden drones at Israeli troops operating in southern Lebanon today, the military says.

The IDF says the drones exploded near the forces in the village of Qantara, located in the Israeli-held security zone, but no injuries were caused.

“The Hezbollah terror organization once again blatantly violated the ceasefire agreement,” the IDF says.

Additionally, the military says troops struck surveillance equipment at a Hezbollah rocket-launching site in the southern Lebanon town of Kounine earlier today. The IDF says the equipment “posed a direct threat to the forces operating in the area.”
