IDF says it struck southern Lebanon after Hezbollah launched explosive drones
The IDF said it was responding to a 'blatant violation' of the cease-fire from Hezbollah. It urged residents in Arab Salim in southern Lebanon's Nabatieh district to evacuate, alleging Hezbollah was using a building in the area
The Israeli military, or IDF, carried out strikes in southern Lebanon in response to Hezbollah launching two drones at its soldiers stationed in a declared security zone. The drones were launched by Hezbollah terrorists, according to the IDF.
The Israeli military warned residents of the town of Arab Salim to evacuate, stating that Hezbollah was using a building in the area. The IDF urged people to stay at least 300 meters away from the building, which was marked on a map shared by the military's Arabic spokesperson, Lt. Col. Ella Waweya.
According to Lebanese authorities, Israeli strikes have killed more than 4,300 people in Lebanon since March. There were no reports of Israeli soldiers being wounded in the drone attack. The incident occurred despite a decrease in violence since a US-Iran memorandum of understanding and a framework agreement between Israel and Lebanon in June.
