IDF says it struck Hezbollah weapons depot, rocket-launching site in south Lebanon

The IDF says it carried out a strike against a Hezbollah weapons depot in southern Lebanon’s Mays al-Jabal earlier today.

The strike was carried out after a Hezbollah operative was spotted entering the site. A short while later, a fighter jet struck the building.

The IDF says secondary blasts were seen after the strike, indicating the site was used to store munitions.

The military also says it struck a building used by Hezbollah in southern Lebanon’s Hula, which it says was used to launch a barrage of rockets at the northern community of Margaliot.

All of the rockets fired at the largely evacuated border community were intercepted by the Iron Dome, according to the IDF.

Lebanese media claimed that two shepherds were killed in the Hula strike.

Sirens that sounded in the Nahariya and Acre area earlier were triggered after an interceptor missile was launched at “a target suspected of being a suspicious aerial target,” the military says.

The IDF says the incident is over and is under investigation, without elaborating further.

Some 15 rockets were also launched at the Katzrin area, hitting open areas and sparking a large fire near the city, the military adds.
