Two IDF soldiers were lightly injured by a Hezbollah terrorist in the Beaufort Ridge area of southern Lebanon, their military said on Monday, noting that it struck Hezbollah targets in response to the attack.
According to the IDF, the two soldiers were attacked at close range and managed to kill the terrorist despite being injured. They were evacuated to a hospital, and their families were notified.
Targets struck by the IDF included weapons storage facilities, command centers, and additional Hezbollah terror infrastructure.
The announcement follows overnight IDF strikes in the Nabatiya area of southern Lebanon, during which the military killed several terrorists.
Hezbollah-affiliated reporter injured in IDF strike
Hezbollah-run Al-Manar reporter Ali Shabib was injured in one of the strikes and has since been evacuated to a hospital.
Like the Beaufort Ridge strikes, the Nabatiya strikes came as a response to a Hezbollah drone attack on IDF soldiers in the Ali al-Taher Ridge area. No Israeli soldiers were injured in the attack.
