The IDF and Defense Minister Israel Katz confirm carrying out a drone strike in southern Lebanon a short while ago, targeting Hezbollah operatives.
The army says it struck a pair of Hezbollah operatives who were carrying out surveillance operations and were directing “terror activity” in the Yohmor area.
Lebanese authorities have said the strike killed at least one person.
Katz says in a statement: “The IDF just now struck Hezbollah terrorists in the Yohmor area, after they engaged in terror activities against Israel.”
“Our policy is clear: Zero tolerance toward any violation [of the ceasefire]. We will not allow any violation of the agreement and we will not allow the Hezbollah terror organization to restore its capabilities,” he says.
Katz adds that “any terrorist who tries to harm Israeli civilians is a dead man.”
