The IDF says it carried out “widespread” strikes in southern Lebanon’s Ayta ash Shab and Ramyeh, as well as other areas, amid Hezbollah attacks on the north.

The IDF says the strikes carried out by fighter jets, tanks and artillery targeted Hezbollah infrastructure used to carry out attacks against Israel.

Another Hezbollah military compound was struck by fighter jets in response to attacks earlier today, the IDF says.

Additionally, the IDF says a Hezbollah cell preparing to carry out an anti-tank missile attack, and another cell in a building used to fire projectiles at Israeli earlier, were both hit.

Hezbollah fired around 50 rockets and missiles, as well as two drones at Israel today.
