IDF targets Hezbollah in southern Lebanon following Hezbollah drone launches - report
Earlier, Hezbollah launched two explosive drones toward IDF forces operating in southern Lebanon. IDF forces fired at one of the drones and intercepted it, with no injuries reported by the IDF.
In response to Hezbollah's recent drone launches, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) carried out a series of strikes in southern Lebanon on Sunday, according to Lebanese media reports. The targeted area was Kfar Rumman, situated near Nabatieh. Two individuals were killed and another wounded in the Nabatieh strike, which was purportedly executed with an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).
Earlier in the day, Hezbollah had launched two explosive drones at IDF forces in southern Lebanon. The IDF's defensive UAV was successful in intercepting one of the drones, resulting in no casualties among the Israeli troops.
The IDF spokesperson's unit issued a statement on Sunday morning, condemning Hezbollah's actions as "a blatant violation by the Hezbollah terrorist organization." The IDF vowed to continue its forceful countermeasure against Hezbollah's repeated attempts to harm its forces. Earlier this weekend, the IDF also targeted Hezbollah's infrastructure in southern Lebanon, including weapons storage facilities used for planning and directing terrorist attack routes.
These strikes were a direct response to Hezbollah's drone attacks on IDF forces the previous day, which did not result in any injuries to Israeli personnel.
