The IDF says Hezbollah launched two explosive-laden drones overnight at Israeli troops stationed on the Ali Taher Ridge in southern Lebanon. One drone was intercepted, and the military says no soldiers were hurt. In response, Israeli forces struck Hezbollah terror infrastructure in the Nabatieh area, which the IDF says was being used to prepare further attacks on Israeli troops and civilians. The military says it continues operating on the ridge, where Hezbollah maintains a major underground facility and where several terrorists are believed to still be hiding. The IDF says it remains committed to dismantling Hezbollah's military capabilities near the border despite ongoing ceasefire arrangements, underscoring the persistent threat the terror group poses to northern Israel.
