The IDF says it has completed a third wave of airstrikes against Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, including targeting a launcher used to fire rockets at the Mount Carmel area near Haifa.
Five rockets were launched in the attack. The IDF says some of the rockets were intercepted by air defenses.
Shrapnel following an interception fell near the Elyakim Junction, lightly wounding a reservist soldier.
Shortly after the rocket fire, an Israeli Air Force drone struck and destroyed the launcher, the military says.
Other sites hit in the latest wave included buildings where Hezbollah had stored weapons and other infrastructure, according to the IDF.
