Israel Responds to Hizbullah Rocket and Drone Attacks
(Times of Israel) Emanuel Fabian - After Hizbullah launched two rockets and a drone from Lebanon at northern Israel on Saturday, Prime Minister Netanyahu instructed the IDF to go after Hizbullah targets "with force," despite the extension of a ceasefire. Hizbullah also launched several explosive drones at Israeli troops stationed in southern Lebanon. No casualties were reported. At the same time, the IDF killed several Hizbullah operatives that "posed a threat to IDF troops operating in southern Lebanon." Additionally, the IDF struck several buildings used by Hizbullah for storing weapons and carrying out attacks. The Israeli Air Force also struck Hizbullah rocket launchers in southern Lebanon north of the IDF-held security zone. The IDF said that since the truce took effect on April 17, it has killed over 30 Hizbullah operatives and destroyed hundreds of the group's positions. Hizbullah, meanwhile, has been carrying out multiple attacks per day on Israeli forces stationed in southern Lebanon amid the ceasefire.
