Reports from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) indicated that three missiles were fired from Lebanon toward Israel. After sirens were heard in northern Israel, the IDF confirmed that three launches were recorded from Lebanese territory toward Israel. The projectiles landed in an open area, and in response, the Israeli military targeted Hezbollah’s military infrastructure inside Lebanon.
Earlier, the IDF reported that an Israeli unmanned aerial vehicle engaged and hit a terrorist cell attempting to launch anti-tank missiles from Lebanon. This sequence of events shows a pattern of cross-border activity along the Israel-Lebanon front, with prolonged tension and rapid military responses.
