The IDF says it carried out another airstrike earlier today against two Hezbollah operatives who entered a known rocket launching site in southern Lebanon.
The operatives were targeted in a drone strike “to thwart the threat,” the IDF says. The site had been used to fire dozens of rockets at Israel in the past month.
The incident, and several others today, violate the ceasefire agreement, according to the military.
The IDF says it fired warning shots in several areas of southern Lebanon throughout the day, to disperse Hezbollah operatives attempting to reach no-go zones near the border.
Earlier, fighter jets struck a Hezbollah medium-range rocket facility, after the military identified activity there.
The IDF is still deployed to southern Lebanon, and it has 60 days to withdraw under the deal. During that time, the Lebanese Army will gradually take responsibility for southern Lebanon and an American-led committee that will adjudicate complaints regarding potential ceasefire violations will be established.
