The IDF says it struck several Hezbollah weapon depots and a drone-launching site in southern Lebanon a short while ago.
The drone site had been used by Hezbollah to launch drones at Israeli forces stationed in southern Lebanon, the military says.
Earlier, two primed Hezbollah rocket launchers were destroyed in strikes, the IDF says. According to the military, one launcher was used in an attack on troops in southern Lebanon, while the other had been previously used in an attack on Israel.
