A Hezbollah operative was killed in an Israeli drone strike in southern Lebanon’s Naqoura earlier today, the military says.
There is no comment from Hezbollah.
The IDF also says it carried out an airstrike against Hezbollah infrastructure and buildings in Ayta ash-Shab and Odaisseh today, publishing footage of the strike.

Troops meanwhile shelled a number of areas in southern Lebanon with artillery to “remove threats,” the army says.
The IDF says earlier this morning a “suspicious aerial target,” thought to be an explosive-laden drone, impacted in the Mount Hermon area this morning, causing no injuries.
