Two Israeli soldiers were lightly injured in a close-range attack near Beaufort Ridge in southern Lebanon, then killed the Hezbollah attacker despite their wounds, according to the IDF.

The soldiers were evacuated to a hospital and their families were notified. In response, the Israeli military said it struck Hezbollah weapons storage facilities, command centers and other infrastructure linked to the group.

The announcement followed overnight Israeli strikes in the Nabatiya area of southern Lebanon, where the military said it killed several terrorists. A Hezbollah-run Al-Manar reporter, Ali Shabib, was injured in one of those strikes and evacuated to a hospital.

The military said the Nabatiya operation, like the Beaufort Ridge strikes, came in response to a Hezbollah drone attack on Israeli soldiers in the Ali al-Taher Ridge area. No Israeli soldiers were injured in that earlier drone attack.
