The Israel Defense Forces says one of its tanks shelled a Hezbollah anti-tank guided missile squad in southern Lebanon, preparing to carry out an attack near the northern village of Arab al-Aramshe.

Earlier, an “aerial target” — thought to be a drone — was intercepted over Kibbutz Cabri, the IDF says.

Sirens had sounded in the community.

Another two targets were intercepted over the Israel-Lebanon border, the IDF says.

Mortars and anti-tank missiles were also fired at IDF posts along the border today.

The IDF says troops are responding with artillery shelling at the sources of the fire and Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon.
