The IDF confirms carrying out strikes in southern Lebanon earlier this evening, saying it killed three armed Hezbollah operatives in the military’s buffer zone.

Soldiers of the 869th Combat Intelligence Collection Unit identified the Hezbollah gunman near the Lebanese town of Beit Yahoun, and a short while later, forces of the 401st Armored Brigade struck and killed the trio “to remove a threat,” the military says.

The military publishes footage showing the identification of the armed operatives and the subsequent strikes.
