Hezbollah launched two explosive drones at Israeli troops on the Ali al-Taher ridge overnight, causing no injuries, the IDF said, and Israel then struck what it called Hezbollah weapons stores in the Nabatieh area. Lebanon's state media reported strikes on the ridge, Mansouri, Zawtar al-Sharqiyah and Mayfadoun, and the health ministry said a woman was killed and six wounded in and around Arab Salim.
Why it matters
The IDF says Hezbollah fighters are still holed up in an underground facility beneath the ridge, inside the zone Israeli troops occupy in the south.
