"Shortly thereafter, the Air Force, guided by forces of the 91st Division, identified and struck two terrorists who were operating from a structure in the area from which the rockets were launched toward the forces. Following the strike, secondary explosions were identified, indicating the presence of weaponry in the structure. The IDF will continue to act against threats to the citizens of the State of Israel and IDF forces," the IAF added.
Earlier in the day, the IAF intercepted a suspicious aerial target that crossed into Israeli territory from Lebanese territory.
In a post on X, the IAF said, "Following an alert regarding the infiltration of a hostile aircraft that was activated a short time ago in the Metula airspace, the Air Force intercepted a suspicious aerial target that crossed into Israeli territory from Lebanese territory. This is another violation of the ceasefire understandings by the Hezbollah terrorist organization." (ANI)
