IDF begins strikes in southern Lebanon following drone attack by Hezbollah

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) initiated a series of strikes in southern Lebanon on Sunday morning in response to a drone attack by Hezbollah terrorists. According to the IDF, two drones were launched towards troops operating within the security zone, with one of them being successfully downed by IDF soldiers who had fired upon the drones.

Prior to the strikes, an evacuation order was issued by the IDF Arabic Spokesperson, Lt. Col. Ella Waweya, to residents of the southern Lebanese town of Arab Salim, urging them to vacate the building marked in red on an attached map, as well as the adjacent buildings, due to their proximity to a Hezbollah facility.
