IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari says the Israeli military was behind large airstrikes near Sidon in Lebanon earlier today.

Hagari says the strikes targeted weapons depots belonging to the Hezbollah terror group.

He says the strikes come as a response to a Hezbollah explosive-laden drone that struck an open field near the northern town of Arbel this morning.
