The IDF says it struck armed Hezbollah operatives who were spotted near Israeli forces in southern Lebanon a short while ago.
The cell of Hezbollah gunmen was spotted in the Ali Taher ridge area, north of the Israeli-held security zone in southern Lebanon, according to the military.
The IDF says that the operatives were then targeted by the troops “to remove the threat.”
Lebanese media reported that Israeli fire in the area killed two and injured two others.
