A cell of Hezbollah operatives identified near Israeli troops in southern Lebanon was targeted in an airstrike earlier today, the IDF says.

The military says troops of the Commando Brigade spotted the operatives riding motorcycles in the village of al-Aaqaide, near Nabatieh and close to Israel’s buffer zone.

“The terrorists’ activity posed a threat to our forces,” the military says, adding that they were struck “to remove the threat.”
