Overnight, a drone strike was carried out against a Hezbollah weapons depot in southern Lebanon’s Yaroun, where the military says it identified a cell of operatives.
At the same time, another strike was carried out against infrastructure belonging to the terror group in Baraachit, the IDF adds.
Meanwhile, the military says an explosive-laden drone launched from Lebanon struck the Metula area this morning, causing no injuries.
The IDF says another suspected drone was shot down by air defenses over the northern town of Sde Eliezer. No sirens sounded “according to protocol,” the military says.
