The IDF says it killed several Hezbollah operatives who “violated the ceasefire understandings” and posed a threat to troops stationed in southern Lebanon earlier today.

The military says troops of the 401st Armored Brigade identified “a cell of terrorists that violated the ceasefire understandings and approached the forces in a manner that posed an immediate threat, during their activity in southern Lebanon, south of the forward defense line area used to prevent a direct threat to northern communities.”

To “remove the threat,” the Israeli Air Force struck and “eliminated the terrorists,” the IDF says.

In another incident south of the “forward defense line,” also dubbed the Yellow Line, the army says it struck a Hezbollah tunnel shaft after identifying members of the terror group entering it.
