Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has instructed the IDF to “strike Hezbollah targets in Lebanon with force,” his office says in a terse statement.
This comes after Hezbollah launched rockets and drones at northern Israel and troops stationed in southern Lebanon today.
Hezbollah has been carrying out multiple attacks per day on Israeli forces stationed in southern Lebanon amid the ceasefire, while claiming that it is responding to alleged Israeli violations of the truce.
