Israeli fighter jets struck Hezbollah operatives and dozens of rocket launchers and facilities belonging to the terror group across Lebanon a short while ago, the IDF announces.

The wave of airstrikes comes as a response to a Hezbollah mortar attack on the Mount Dov area earlier this evening, in a violation of the ceasefire agreement.

Additionally, the IDF says it struck the launcher used to fire the two mortars at Mount Dov. The site was hit a short while after the attack.

“Hezbollah’s launches tonight constitute a violation of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon,” the IDF says in a statement.

“The State of Israel demands that the relevant parties in Lebanon fulfill their responsibilities and prevent Hezbollah’s hostile activity from within Lebanese territory. The State of Israel remains obligated to the fulfillment of the conditions of the ceasefire agreement in Lebanon,” the army adds.
