The IDF says it killed several Hezbollah operatives who tried to flee from a major tunnel system near the Beaufort Castle in southern Lebanon.
Several days ago, a drone piloted by commandos of the Egoz unit identified Hezbollah operatives inside one of the tunnel routes.
Footage published by the IDF shows one of the Hezbollah gunmen firing on the drone.
The military says that as the operatives fled out of the tunnel, the Israeli Air Force struck and killed them.
