Hezbollah launched a drone at Israeli troops stationed in southern Lebanon a short while ago, the military says.
According to the IDF, the drone was intercepted by air defenses. No injuries are reported.
The IDF says the attack is a “blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement.”
Yesterday, Hezbollah launched a barrage of rockets at troops in southern Lebanon and a drone at Israel.
Israel has not responded to the attacks beyond striking a rocket launcher used in the barrage yesterday.
