The IDF says it carried out a strike on a Hezbollah cell that fired an anti-tank missile from Lebanon at the northern community of Malkia.

The strike was carried out within an hour of the attack, the IDF says.

Projectiles were also fired at Mattat, Margaliot, Adamit, and Zar’it. Some of the attacks were claimed by Hezbollah.

The IDF says it struck the launch sites.
