In a rare admission, the IDF says it carried out two drone strikes in southern Syria today, targeting a Hezbollah operative and another Iran-linked terrorist.

The military says the first strike, in the Quneitra area, killed Ahmed al-Jaber, a member of Hezbollah’s so-called Golan File unit.

Another strike, in the al-Rafid area, targeted a “terrorist who advanced terror acts against the State of Israel, and acted with the cooperation and direction of Iran.” the IDF says.

Meanwhile, the military says several explosive-laden drones were launched from Lebanon at northern Israel today, impacting near the Keren Naftali area.

Also today, some 15 rockets were fired from Lebanon at the Western Galilee.

There were no injuries in the attacks.
