The IDF says it struck a terror cell in southern Lebanon that carried out a rocket barrage on the northern Israeli town of Rosh Hanikra.

The strike was carried out within minutes of the attack, the IDF says.

The Hamas terror group says its Lebanon branch carried out the rocket fire. It also names one member killed in the Israeli strike.

The IDF says it also hit a number of other rocket launching sites and Hezbollah infrastructure in southern Lebanon, including one used in an attack on the Mount Dov area earlier.
