After Hezbollah fired rockets and drones on Thursday morning, sparking fires in northern Israel, the IDF announced that it had struck the Bint Jbeil municipality building in Lebanon, killing around 15 Hezbollah terrorists.
The strike was the first of its kind in the area since 2006, CNN reported.
The building allegedly acted as a weaponry stock house for Hezbollah terrorists.
Shortly after the strikes were reported, two drones were identified crossing into Israeli territory from Lebanon, the IDF announced.
One of the drones was intercepted off the coast near the northern Israeli city of Nahariya, while the other fell in an open area. Neither triggered alert sirens, and no injuries were reported, the military said.
Subsequently, the IDF identified 25 Hezbollah rockets that crossed from Lebanon, some of which were intercepted by the IDF.

Some of those not intercepted crashed into open areas across northern Israel, igniting several fires, according to Israeli media reports.
Israel's Fire and Rescue Service has reportedly extinguished a forest fire in Haifa, though a fire in Shlomi forest has yet to be contained.
The military said that IAF fighter jets, under the direction of the Northern Command, responded by attacking about 200 Hezbollah terror targets, targeting military buildings, observation posts, terrorist infrastructure, and weapon warehouses in addition to terrorists themselves.
