In the early evening (Monday), Hezbollah militants launched several rockets and explosive drones at IDF forces operating in southern Lebanon. According to the IDF Spokesperson, during these incidents two explosive drones struck unmanned engineering vehicles. No IDF troops were injured. The vehicles sustained damage. 

Earlier today, three IDF soldiers were lightly wounded when an explosive drone detonated near an IDF unit in southern Lebanon.

The IDF Spokesperson added in the early evening that yesterday, troops from the 146th Division identified two Hezbollah operatives who had entered a building near IDF forces in southern Lebanon. From that building, the operatives worked to advance a terror plot against IDF forces operating in the area.

Immediately after the identification, the Israeli Air Force, guided by divisional forces, eliminated the operatives inside the building. In addition, infrastructure and a weapons-storage facility used by Hezbollah were struck, and additional militants who posed a threat to IDF forces were killed.
