The IDF says it struck Hezbollah operatives who were identified transporting weapons inside Israel’s south Lebanon buffer zone earlier today.

Lebanese media had reported several strikes in the town of Mansouri, near Tyre.

Troops of the 91st “Galilee” Regional Division spotted several Hezbollah operatives entering the IDF’s security zone in a vehicle and moving several anti-tank missiles from it into a building, the military says, attaching footage of the incident.

After several more Hezbollah operatives transported weapons into the building and entered it, the IDF carried out an airstrike against the structure “to remove the threat.”

The military says secondary explosions were identified at the building following the strike. It publishes a video showing the airstrike.
