IAF fighter jets targeted Hezbollah terrorists who were in a military infrastructure in the area of Marwahin in southern Lebanon after they were identified by troops, the military said on Monday.
In addition, the warplanes attacked two Hezbollah weapons storage facilities near the city of Sidon in Lebanon.
The strike was in response to the launch of a UAV toward the Lower Galilee on Monday, the IDF added.
The IDF also said it conducted strikes on Hezbollah infrastructure in the Meiss El Jabal and al-Adisa areas in Lebanon.
This comes following reports in Israeli media, citing the Hezbollah-affiliated Al-Akhbar newspaper, of Israeli jets attacking near Sidon. The two strikes occurred in the region of Ghaziyeh some 60 km from Israel’s northern border.
Earlier on Monday, IAF jets targeted Hezbollah infrastructure in the Dharya region in southern Lebanon, the military said on Monday.
