The IDF says it carried out a strike on a group of Hezbollah operatives in southern Lebanon, preparing to launch anti-tank guided missiles at northern Israel.

It says troops also hit infrastructure belonging to the terror group and shelled areas in southern Lebanon, presumably to foil planned attacks by Hezbollah.

Several projectiles were fired from Lebanon at northern Israel in the last few hours, and the IDF says it shelled the sources of fire with artillery.
