Hezbollah launched two explosive-laden drones at Israeli troops operating in the Ali Taher Ridge in southern Lebanon overnight, prompting strikes on the terror group’s infrastructure in the area, the military said Wednesday.
According to the IDF, one of the drones was shot down by the troops, and no soldiers were injured in the attack.
Hezbollah has a major underground facility beneath the ridge in the Nabatieh area, and several operatives are believed by the IDF to still be holed up there.
In response to the attack, the military said it struck Hezbollah infrastructure in the Nabatieh area. The sites had been used by the terror group to advance attacks on Israeli forces operating in southern Lebanon and against Israeli civilians, the IDF said, adding that the strikes were intended to “remove an immediate threat.”
Lebanese official media said the Israeli strikes on south Lebanon killed one person.
