The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported striking a Hezbollah target in southern Lebanon after an unidentified object infiltrated Israel.
“Some time ago, the IDF carried out strikes against a Hezbollah terrorist target in southern Lebanon in response to the infiltration of unidentified aerial targets into Israel and the shooting of an IDF drone. The IDF intercepted an infiltrating aerial target and fire on a drone,” the army reported on its Telegram channel.
Israel on the morning of October 7 was subjected to an unprecedented-scale rocket attack from the Gaza Strip as part of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, announced by the military wing of the Palestinian Hamas movement. In addition, after massive rocket attacks, the organization’s fighters penetrated into the border areas in southern Israel. In response, the Israel Defense Forces launched Operation Iron Swords against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Within days of the attack, the Israeli military took control of all settlements near the Gaza border and began conducting air strikes on targets, including civilians, in the strip. Israel also announced a complete blockade of the Gaza Strip: the supply of water, food, electricity, medicine, and fuel was suspended.
The number of civilian deaths on each side exceeded a thousand, and several thousand Israelis and Palestinians were injured. Including, it was reported about several dead and missing Russians, as well as citizens of other countries. According to various sources, about 150 Israelis may be held captive by Hamas.
