The Israel Defense Forces says it carried out a drone strike and artillery shelling against an anti-tank missile squad in southern Lebanon, near the northern community of Zar’it.

A number of rockets were also fired from Lebanon at northern Israel this morning, setting off sirens.

No injuries are reported in the rocket attacks.

The IDF says it is responding with artillery shelling at the sources of the fire.

Separately overnight, a surface-to-air missile was fired at an IDF drone over Lebanon. The IDF says the missile was intercepted by air defenses.

In response, an airstrike was carried out against the missile launcher and a weapons depot, the IDF says.
