JERUSALEM: Israel's military said it had conducted an airstrike on Wednesday targeting two Hezbollah operatives in south Lebanon who it said posed a threat to troops deployed in the area, despite a truce in the war with the Iran-backed militants.

"The IDF struck two armed Hezbollah terrorists in the area of Ali al-Taher Ridge who posed a threat," the military said. "The IDF will not allow the Hezbollah terrorist organization to harm Israeli civilians or IDF soldiers, and will continue to operate to remove immediate threats."
