Lebanon: IDF raid in the south of the country in response to a Hezbollah attack

Rome, 6 Sept. (LaPresse) – The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) report that they are striking targets in southern Lebanon after Hezbollah launched two explosive drones early this morning against troops operating in the Ali Taher ridge area in the south of the country. One of the drones launched by the group, according to The Times of Israel, was shot down by the military; the IDF states that no soldiers were injured in the incident. “This constitutes a blatant violation (of the ceasefire) by the terrorist organisation Hezbollah,” the IDF said in a statement.
