IDF says it struck several Hezbollah operatives who ‘violated ceasefire’

The Israeli Air Force killed several Hezbollah operatives who “violated the ceasefire understandings” and posed a threat to troops in southern Lebanon today, the military says.

In two separate incidents, soldiers of the Paratroopers Brigade spotted several Hezbollah operatives in the Bint Jbeil area, which is located in the IDF-held security zone.

The military says the operatives “approached the forces in a manner that posed an immediate threat,” and a short while later, the IAF “struck and eliminated the terrorists to remove the threat.”

In another incident, troops of the Golani Brigade spotted several Hezbollah operatives near the Litani River.

The IDF says the operatives “operated within the forward defensive line area, and approached the forces in a manner that posed an immediate threat.”

A short while after the operatives were identified, the military says the IAF “struck and eliminated the terrorists.”

Lebanese media reported that the latter strike targeted several people at a previously destroyed Litani River crossing in the town of Qaaqaait al-Jisr.
