Earlier this morning, the IDF says it struck a cell of Hezbollah operatives who were planning to launch rockets at Israel.

The cell had been spotted by troops of the 146th Division in southern Lebanon’s Tayr Harfa, and a short while later a drone strike was carried out.

A video released by the IDF shows a rocket being launched immediately following the strike.

Meanwhile, several projectiles were launched from Lebanon this morning at the Mount Meron area, which houses a sensitive Israeli air traffic control base.

At least one projectile was intercepted, while another two impacted the mountain.

There are no injuries in the attack.
