The IDF identified a short time ago an armed terrorist squad operating near IDF forces operating in the security zone, in the Ali al-Tahir ridge.

Immediately after the identification and in a rapid cycle of closure, the forces struck the terrorists north of the security zone, with the aim of removing the threat.

The IDF will continue to operate to remove immediate threats and will not allow the terrorist organization Hezbollah to harm the citizens of the State of Israel and our forces.

Hezbollah says those targeted were civilians clearing rubble and recovering bodies near Nabatieh, calling it a "blatant violation of the ceasefire, which the resistance has adhered to until now."
