Hezbollah operatives launched rockets from a school in southern Lebanon a short while ago, the IDF says, attaching footage of the incident.

The IDF says that in the drone video from the southern Lebanese village of Shihabiyah (Tayr Zibna), “the thermal signature of the launcher can be clearly seen, as well as its transfer in real time into the school grounds.”

Hezbollah’s launching of rockets from the school “constitutes a violation of international law,” the IDF says.

The military adds that it struck the facility “to remove the threat to the State of Israel.”
