The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has confirmed the airstrike. “[IDF] against infrastructure used for terrorism,” the Israeli military said in a statement.
“IDF attacks will continue and even escalate in the face of terrorist attempts against the State of Israel and its citizens,” the statement continued.
“The Lebanese state is responsible for what happens on its territory. The IDF warns of continued efforts to” [tindakan] endanger the Israeli people and its sovereignty.”
On Wednesday afternoon, three rockets were fired from southern Lebanon towards the Israeli villages of Kiryat Shmona, Kfar Giladi and Tel Hai, which lie near the de facto Blue Line border between the two countries.
One of the rockets ignited a bushfire with no casualties reported. In response, the IDF fired three artillery rounds into southern Lebanon.
