The IDF says it carried out a wave of airstrikes against Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon.
The sites hit by fighter jets in southern Lebanon’s Odaisseh include an observation post, a rocket launch position and other infrastructure belonging to the terror group, according to the IDF.
The IDF says that overnight, tanks also carried out shelling in the Mount Dov area, to “remove a threat.”
The IDF adds that the sirens that sounded in the Galilee panhandle earlier were a false alarm.
An interceptor missile had been launched following a “false identification,” it says.
Meanwhile, two missiles were fired by Hezbollah from Lebanon in the last few hours, and the IDF says it is striking the launch sites.
There are no injuries in the attacks.
