The IDF says a fighter jet struck a Hezbollah observation position and military site in southern Lebanon’s Maroun el-Ras, amid repeated cross-border attacks carried out by the terror group.

Shortly after the strike, troops struck an anti-tank missile squad in the area, the IDF adds.

Overnight, the IDF says, troops launched mortars “to remove a threat” in the area of the southern Lebanese village of Rab el-Thalathine.

This morning, Hezbollah fired several projectiles at northern Israel, near Shtula, Arab al-Aramshe, Manara, and Metula. The IDF does not report any injuries in the attacks.
