The IDF said the Air Force intercepted several rockets fired by Hezbollah at Israeli troops operating in southern Lebanon, with no alerts activated under policy. In four separate incidents earlier Monday, forces identified and struck militants approaching in vehicles that posed an immediate threat; no IDF casualties were reported from Hezbollah anti-tank and mortar fire earlier in the day.
The Israel Defense Forces reported that its air force intercepted multiple rockets launched by Hezbollah toward troops operating in the forward defense zone in southern Lebanon on Monday evening, shortly before 23:20 Jerusalem. Per policy, no warnings were activated. These interceptions come amid a day of persistent low-level attacks: earlier Monday, Hezbollah fired an anti-tank missile and several mortar shells at IDF positions in southern Lebanon, causing no injuries. In four separate incidents, forces identified militants approaching in vehicles and engaged them with precision airstrikes directed by troops on the ground. The military described the operations as conducted under the "immediate threat removal" policy, targeting fighters who closed in on Israeli forces. The day's events follow a series of exchanges along the southern Lebanon front since the announcement of an agreement, as The Zioneer reported in same-thread coverage at 23:19 Jerusalem today. Earlier on Saturday, the IDF reported multiple interception incidents near Metula beginning at 23:52 Jerusalem, gradually clarifying that rockets were directed at troops operating in southern Lebanon. By Saturday's final version (v8), the IDF confirmed it had struck four militant squads approaching forces in vehicles — a pattern that recurred in Monday's incidents. Hezbollah has continued launching rockets, anti-tank missiles, and mortar shells at Israeli forces even after the agreement's announcement, as The Zioneer's same-thread coverage noted at 23:19 Jerusalem. The IDF said it continues to operate against emerging threats. Casualty figures for Hezbollah operatives were not provided by the military, and the strikes remain unaudited by independent sources. The precise number of rockets intercepted Monday evening and their launch locations have not been specified by the IDF.
