On Saturday, Hezbollah fired several rockets and explosive drones at soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) operating in southern Lebanon
According to the Israeli army, one of the rockets was intercepted by the Air Force, while the others landed near the troops without causing injuries.
As is usual in similar situations, no alarms were triggered in communities in northern Israel.
The incident occurred amidst ongoing operations by Israeli troops in the region.
On Friday, the IDF eliminated Hezbollah terrorists who approached the soldiers and dismantled more than 50 of the group’s infrastructure sites, including command centers, military structures, and other targets used for terrorist activities.
In a separate report, the army detailed the results of actions carried out in recent weeks by the 98th Division in the Shiite city of Bint Jbeil, a key Hezbollah stronghold located about five kilometers from the Israeli border.
Soldiers from the Paratrooper Brigades, Givati, Commandos, and the 214th Artillery Brigade “David’s Sling” killed more than 200 terrorists in close combat, seized hundreds of weapons, and destroyed more than 900 installations linked to Hezbollah.
The troops also demolished the city’s stadium after discovering it was rigged with explosives.
This same location was used by the late Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah for a speech in 2000, following the Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon, in which he compared Israeli society to a spider’s web.
The IDF’s international spokesman, Lieutenant Colonel Nadav Shoshani, reported that since the start of the ground incursion on March 16, Israeli soldiers have discovered more than 7,500 Hezbollah weapons in southern Lebanon.
He highlighted that the group, supported by Iran, continues to attempt rearming, hiding weapons and ammunition among Lebanese civilians – a clear violation of the ceasefire.
The Israel Defense Forces reaffirmed that they will continue operating against any threat to Israeli citizens and their troops, following government directives.
The actions aim to neutralize the danger posed by Hezbollah and protect the security of Israel’s northern border.
This sequence of events demonstrates the persistence of clashes in the region, even after attempts at a truce.
While Hezbollah maintains rocket and drone attacks, Israeli forces respond with precise operations to dismantle terrorist infrastructure, prioritizing the protection of their troops and the civilian population in Israel.
The conflict, involving an extremist group funded by Iran, continues to require constant vigilance to prevent further escalation.
