The IDF says it carried out additional strikes against buildings used by Hezbollah and where operatives were gathered in southern Lebanon today.
The strikes were carried out in the towns of Ain Baal, Aalma ash-Shab, Hanine and Yaroun, the military says.
In addition to a commander killed earlier today, Hezbollah announces the deaths of two more operatives killed “on the road to Jerusalem,” its term for operatives slain in Israeli strikes.
