The IDF said Hezbollah fired over 50 rockets and mortars at Israeli forces in southern Lebanon overnight Saturday in repeated ceasefire violations. In response, the military struck dozens of Hezbollah terror infrastructure sites, including rocket launchers, weapons depots, and command posts.
The IDF Spokesperson confirmed on Saturday afternoon that Hezbollah launched more than 50 projectiles — rockets and mortar shells — at Israeli troops operating in southern Lebanon in several separate incidents overnight. The military described the attacks as repeated ceasefire violations and stated it would not accept harm to Israeli civilians or forces.
In response, Israeli forces struck dozens of Hezbollah terror targets during the night, including rocket launch positions, weapons storage facilities, and command headquarters. No casualty figures were provided in the IDF statement, and it remains unclear whether strikes are still ongoing.
As The Zioneer reported earlier Saturday, a senior Israeli military source had already told Reuters that Hezbollah had fired over 50 rockets and mortars at IDF troops overnight — without casualties. The IDF's on-record confirmation, issued hours later, adds operational detail and formalizes the military's public posture: the strikes are described as a direct response to the attacks, framed as a firm enforcement of the ceasefire terms.
