The IDF says tanks and a fighter jet struck several more Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon in response to repeated attacks by the terror group on the north of Israel.

It adds that separately, an attack helicopter hit an anti-tank missile squad preparing to carry out an attack near the northern community of Yiftah.

Several rockets were also fired from Lebanon at areas on the border in the last few hours. The IDF says it is responding with artillery shelling at the sources of the fire.

In another incident, the IDF says it shelled an area in southern Lebanon near the northern Israeli community of Menara, after identifying suspicious movement.
