A Hezbollah weapons depot in southern Lebanon’s Kafr Kila, where several operatives were spotted entering, was struck by fighter jets earlier today, the IDF says.
In a separate incident, the IDF says it carried out a drone strike against a Hezbollah cell leaving a rocket launching site used in an attack this morning on Misgav Am.
Other buildings used by Hezbollah in Ayta ash-Shab, and a rocket launcher in Abu Shash, were targeted in additional strikes, the IDF says.
This evening, Hezbollah launched more than 30 rockets at northern Israel, according to the IDF.
The first barrage of some 20 rockets was aimed at the northern Golan Heights. The IDF says the rockets all struck open areas.
A short while later, another 10 rockets were fired at the Galilee Panhandle. The IDF says some of the rockets were intercepted by the Iron Dome, and several impacts were reported, some of which sparked fires.
There were no injuries in the attacks.
