In a brief statement posted on social media, the Israel Defense Forces said Hezbollah militants had sent the drones toward Israeli soldiers operating in the area. The soldiers opened fire and destroyed one drone. The military said no troops were injured.

The IDF described the incident as a “flagrant violation” by Hezbollah and said its strikes in southern Lebanon were a response. It reiterated that Israeli forces would continue operating in the Lebanese zone to eliminate threats to Israeli civilians and IDF soldiers.
