The Israeli military says it has launched “precise strikes” in southern Lebanon in response to a “blatant violation” of the ceasefire by Hezbollah.
The IDF has not yet provided details on the violation of the truce by the terror group.
A short while before launching the strikes, the IDF issued an evacuation warning for the village of Mansouri, which is located inside the military’s south Lebanon buffer zone.
Lebanese civilians had entered Mansouri under the protection of the Lebanese army, which also set up a roadblock in the area in violation of the agreements, according to the IDF.
The military says the village was evacuated for the residents’ safety, as military operations are still taking place there.
