Israeli fighter jets struck two buildings where Hezbollah operatives were gathered in southern Lebanon’s Aitaroun and Ayta ash-Shab earlier today, the military says.

The IDF says strikes were carried out today against additional buildings used by the terror group and other Hezbollah infrastructure in Markaba, Houla, and Kafr Kila.

Meanwhile, five rockets were launched from Lebanon at the northern community of Maayan Baruch, setting off sirens at 5:31 p.m. The IDF says the rockets struck open areas, causing no injuries.

One rocket was fired earlier, at Dovev, setting off a siren there at 5:03 p.m., and another was fired at Ramot Naftali, setting off a siren there at 4:23 p.m. According to the IDF, both rockets struck open areas, causing no injuries.
