The IDF says it carried out airstrikes against a series of Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon, amid the ongoing border skirmishes with the terror group.

The sites include military sites where Hezbollah members operated and other infrastructure, according to the IDF.

It is rare for Israel to strike first amid the ongoing clashes with Hezbollah, though not unheard-of.
