IDF kills four Hezbollah terrorists after rocket sirens sound in Israel’s North

A day after the Hezbollah terrorist organization announced that four of its members were killed in an IDF strike in southern Lebanon, the IDF carried out a new wave of strikes on Hezbollah targets on Saturday, after several rocket attacks on northern Israel earlier in the day.

The IDF said it intercepted a “suspicious aerial target,” believed to be a drone, that was heading toward Israeli airspace in one of those Hezbollah attacks.

The IDF said the target was downed over Lebanese airspace before it crossed into Israel.

On Friday, four Hezbollah members were killed following several rocket launches from Lebanese territory into Arab al-Aramshe in northern Israel, in which there were no casualties. Israeli forces then attacked the sources of the rocket fire.

Rocket sirens also sounded in Kibbutz Adamit and Moshav Zar’it.

IDF aircraft attacked two operational infrastructures belonging to Hezbollah in the village of Beit Leaf, as well as a military building in the village of Deir Aames.

The day before, the IDF attacked a key Hezbollah-Iranian airstrip in Kilat Jaber, Lebanon, that was used for launching aerial attacks against Israel.

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said that “Put differently, the land is Lebanese, the control is Iranian, the target is Israel.”
