Several Hezbollah operatives were killed in a drone strike as ground troops operate in southern Lebanon, the military says.

Earlier this week, troops of the 7th Armored Brigade, under the 36th Division, raided the Rab al-Thalathine area, with the IDF saying it aims to locate and clear the Lebanese village of Hezbollah infrastructure and operatives.

The IDF says that during the ongoing raid, the troops identified several Hezbollah operatives in a building near the forces. An Israeli Air Force drone then struck and “eliminated the terrorists,” the military says.

The 36th Division’s forces also located Hezbollah weapons during the raid, the army adds.
