Separately, the IDF says a combat helicopter struck a terror cell preparing to launch an anti-tank guided missile from Lebanon at Israel.
The military publishes footage of the strikes.
Earlier, rockets launched by Hamas from Lebanon wounded three people in Kiryat Shmona, and missiles fired by Hezbollah targeted a number of military positions, causing no injuries.
