The IDF says a soldier was lightly wounded in a rocket strike in the Kiryat Shmona area earlier today, amid attacks from Lebanon.

The soldier was taken to hospital for treatment.

Hezbollah fired additional projectiles at the Margaliot and Malkia areas, the IDF says.

In response, fighter jets struck Hezbollah sites in Khiam and Rab El Thalathine, and troops shelled areas near Houla with artillery to “remove threats,” the IDF says.

The IDF says that last night, another Hezbollah building in Jebbayn was struck.
