IAF struck ten Hezbollah launchers and military infrastructure sites in southern Lebanon on Wednesday night, the IDF announced. 

The launchers, deemed to pose a threat to the citizens of Israel, were located in the areas of Jibbain, Zawtar El Charqiyeh, and Ramia in southern Lebanon. 

Earlier on Wednesday night, IDF forces from Division 91 identified several Hezbollah terrorists operating in a military building in the Hula area of southern Lebanon.

The building was subsequently targeted and destroyed in an airstrike.

Earlier Hezbollah attacks

This strike was an IDF retaliation to recent alerts in the Upper Galilee region when approximately 30 rockets were launched from Lebanon, with some intercepted and others landing in open areas.

The firefighting teams are working to extinguish a fire caused by the rocket impact near Kibbutz Kfar Blum. No injuries have been reported, the IDF added.

Additionally, an anti-tank missile launch was fired from Lebanon earlier on Wednesday and crossed from Lebanon into Kiryat Shmona. The missile landed, but no injuries were reported, the IDF said.
