Three Hezbollah explosive-laden drones launched from Lebanon hit the Mount Dov area on the border, where a number of IDF positions are located.

The IDF says it identified the drones, adding that the “incident is over.”

Hezbollah claimed responsibility for the drone attack.

Several more projectiles were fired from Lebanon at several areas in northern Israel, landing in open areas, causing no damage, according to the IDF.

The IDF says it struck the launch sites.

The IDF says fighter jets also carried out a wave of strikes against targets in Lebanon, including military sites belonging to Hezbollah.

The strikes come in response to a barrage of rockets from Lebanon earlier today on Rosh Hanikra.
