Boruch Hashem, two more Hezbollah cells were hit in airstrikes in southern Lebanon yesterday, the military announces, as fighter jets and drones attacked a series of targets belonging to the terror group overnight.
One of the Hezbollah cells was hit by fighter jets after being spotted operating at a building known to be used by the terror group in Yaroun, and the second was hit by a drone after being spotted in the Houla area, the IDF says.
Meanwhile, overnight the IDF says the Air Force struck a weapons depot and a building used by Hezbollah in Mays al-Jabal, infrastructure in Khiam, and additional buildings in Houla.
A terrorist who was identified by the IDF at a rocket launching site in southern Lebanon’s Aynata was killed in an airstrike, the military says.
The site has recently been used to fire rockets at the Malkia area in northern Israel.
Fighter jets also hit a building used by Hezbollah in Aitaroun, the IDF adds.
The IDF’s 146th Division and 205th Reserve Armored Brigade carried out a drill in recent weeks simulating a ground offensive in Lebanon.
The IDF said: “The exercise simulated combat scenarios in the northern arena, the rapid deployment of forces on the ground, the functioning of the division and brigade headquarters and the readiness of the forces for an attack,”.
Amid a pinpoint raid that has been taking place in the Sabra neighbourhood of Gaza City, with much Hashgacha Protis, the IDF discovered and demolished a large Hamas tunnel.
The 800 meter-long and 18 meter-deep tunnel was located close to the Netzarim Corridor, where troops are stationed in Gaza, the IDF says.
Video shows the explosion of the tunnel:
A barrage of some 35 rockets was launched from Lebanon at the Mount Meron area in northern Israel a short while ago. The IDF says the rockets struck open areas, and there are no reports of injuries. The rocket impacts sparked a fire in the area, near the northern community of Safsufa.
The IDF says it is shelling south Lebanon’s Khiam, Houla, and Shebaa with artillery following the barrage.
Meanwhile, Hezbollah claims for an anti-tank guided missile attack earlier today against Metula, which damaged one home.
Video shows the barrage launched from Lebanon:
Two explosive drones were launched by Hezbollah from Lebanon earlier this evening, with the IDF reporting that one was downed by air defenses, while the second struck an area in the Western Galilee.
The drones both crossed into Israeli airspace in the Western Galilee. The IDF says it is investigating why it failed to intercept the second device.
Hezbollah in a statement claims to have targeted an Israeli military position near Nahariya with explosive-laden drones.
Sirens were activated in several Western Galilee communities amid the incident, due to fears of falling shrapnel following the interception.
Footage shows an interceptor missile downing a suspected drone near Eilat this evening.
