The IDF says it struck and killed several Hezbollah operatives who were armed with RPGs and operating close to troops in south Lebanon yesterday.
After the operatives were identified by commandos of the Egoz Unit, the Israeli Air Force carried out strikes on the operatives and the structure they were in in the Nabatieh area, “to remove the threat to the forces,” the military says.
In a separate incident, troops of the Multi-Domain Unit struck and destroyed a Hezbollah rocket launcher that the military says “posed a threat to forces.”
The IDF publishes footage of the strikes.
