The IDF confirmed Tuesday afternoon that it struck armed Hezbollah operatives posing an immediate threat to soldiers operating in the Security Zone in southern Lebanon. The military said a cell was identified in close proximity to troops in the Ali al-Taher Ridge area, and that soldiers struck the terrorists north of the Security Zone to neutralize the threat. Hezbollah has continued to test the ceasefire in southern Lebanon in recent days, with the IDF reporting multiple incidents of gunmen approaching or firing at troops. Tuesday's strike comes hours after another IDF threat-removal operation in the Tebnit area, as The Zioneer reported at 12:59. The military reiterated that it will not allow Hezbollah to harm Israeli civilians or soldiers.
