The Israel Air Force and IDF artillery struck numerous Hezbollah terrorist targets in southern Lebanon since Tuesday, including a Hezbollah structure in the Majdal Selm area in which terrorists had been observed operating, the IDF reported on Wednesday.
In addition to the Majdal Selm IAF strike, the air force reportedly struck Hezbollah structures in another five areas of southern Lebanon.
Overnight into Wednesday morning, the air force also struck Hezbollah structures in the Odaisseh, Markaba, Blida, Maroun El Ras, and Chihine areas as well, the military continued.
Later, starting at 4:32 a.m. local time on Wednesday, multiple drone intrusion alerts sounded in several localities in the area of Lake Kinneret in northern Israel. Sirens blared in Tiberias, Kfar Nahum, and Ginossar, among other places.
Following the sirens, Israeli media reported there had been two interceptions above Tiberias, with no injuries being reported.
Drone coming from Iraq
In a later Wednesday statement, the IDF reported that the drone intercepted after sirens sounded in the Sea of Galilee area had approached Israeli territory from Iraq.
Drone intrusion alerts sounded last in Tiberias on October 11, 2023. This comes after thousands of Hezbollah members were wounded in Lebanon on Tuesday when the pagers they used to communicate exploded.
Israeli artillery also fired on targets in Lebanon’s south, the military noted in its earlier Wednesday morning statement, adding that the army would “continue to operate against the threat of the Hezbollah terrorist organization in order to defend the State of Israel.”
Explosion over Nahariya coast heard
Later, after residents of the northern Israeli city of Nahariya heard an explosion on Wednesday morning, Israeli media reported that the IDF‘s aerial defense array intercepted an aerial target over the coast.
