Israeli fighter jets strike buildings used by Hezbollah in southern Lebanon

Israeli fighter jets struck buildings used by Hezbollah in southern Lebanon’s Maroun al-Ras and Ayta ash-Shab a short while ago, the IDF says.

The IDF also says that an interceptor missile was fired at a suspected drone that entered Israeli airspace from Lebanon earlier this evening, setting off sirens in the Galilee Panhandle.

The military does not say if the target was shot down, though no injuries were caused in the incident.

Separately, a rocket fired from Lebanon struck an open area near the border community of Netu’a, also causing no injuries, the IDF says.
