A cell of Hezbollah operatives was struck in southern Lebanon’s Markaba a short while ago, the IDF says.

The military says the operatives were spotted by troops of the 869th Combat Intelligence Collection Unit entering a building used by the terror group, and a short while later, a fighter jet carried out an airstrike.

Separately, overnight, the IDF says it struck another building used by Hezbollah in Ayta ash-Shab

Meanwhile, one rocket launched from Lebanon at the Upper Galilee a short while ago was intercepted by air defenses, the IDF adds.
