Two armed Hezbollah operatives who approached Israeli troops in the southern Lebanon town of Aynata, adjacent to Bint Jbeil, earlier today were killed, the military says.
The IDF says troops of the Commando Brigade, stationed in the Bint Jbeil area, identified “two armed terrorists who approached the forces in a manner that posed an immediate threat.”
The soldiers then “eliminated the terrorists to remove the threat,” the army says.
