Israel has attacked southern Lebanon again after its soldiers shot down one of two drones that the military said Hezbollah launched at troops operating in what Israel calls the security zone.

The Israel Defense Forces said on Sunday that Hezbollah militants had sent two drones toward Israeli soldiers. The soldiers opened fire and brought down one of them, with no military casualties reported. The army called the incident a “flagrant violation” and said it was responding with strikes in southern Lebanon.

Today, terrorists from the Hezbollah organization launched two drones at IDF soldiers operating in the security zone in southern Lebanon.

The Israeli military said its forces would continue operating in the Lebanese area to remove threats to Israeli civilians and its soldiers. The latest strikes followed an Israeli attack reported on Saturday in the southern Lebanese town of al-Hanniyeh, where smoke rose over the area.

Lebanon’s Health Ministry said Israeli attacks had killed 4,353 people and wounded 12,323 since March 2, shortly after the start of the war between Washington and Tel Aviv and Tehran, according to the source. Violence has eased since late June, when Lebanon and Israel began direct talks mediated by the United States.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Friday that Israeli forces had “conquered” the Ali Taher ridge, a strategic elevation where Israel says Hezbollah maintained an underground command center and weapons stores.
