Black smoke rises from an Israeli airstrike on the outskirts of Yaroun, a Lebanese border village with Israel, in south Lebanon, December 10, 2023.
The IDF says two soldiers have been moderately wounded and others lightly hurt by shrapnel and smoke inhalation in a Hezbollah drone attack on a base in the Western Galilee.
Two of the drones launched from Lebanon were shot down by the Iron Dome air defense system, the IDF says.
Hezbollah claimed responsibility for the attack.
Meanwhile, the IDF says it carried out a “widespread” wave of airstrikes against Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon in response to repeated attacks on the border.
It says the targets include rocket launching sites, military compounds, and other infrastructure belonging to the terror group.
In another incident, the IDF says it struck an anti-tank missile squad in southern Lebanon that had attempted to carry out an attack near the northern Israel community of Zar’it.
The IDF says it is continuing to carry out strikes on Hezbollah now.
