The IDF confirms carrying out a drone strike in southern Lebanon’s Baraashit earlier today, saying it killed a Hezbollah operative.

The operative was involved in attempts to restore Hezbollah military infrastructure in the area, the military says, adding that his actions “constituted a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.”
