The Israeli military claims it carried out an airstrike targeting suspected Hezbollah fighters who crossed into the so-called “security zone” it has created in southern Lebanon, the second such incident it reported within hours today, AFP reports.
“A short while ago, a vehicle carrying suspects was identified crossing the security zone in the Ali al-Taher Ridge area, posing a threat to IDF soldiers,” the military claims.
“Following the identification, the Israeli Air Force struck the suspects in order to remove the threat,” it adds, vowing that the military “would not allow Hezbollah” to harm its troops.
