JERUSALEM – The Israeli military said Sunday it carried out an airstrike against a Hezbollah militant cell in southern Lebanon.
The military said its soldiers spotted a Hezbollah cell early Sunday near the Al-Uqaydah area, close to the Israeli-patrolled “security zone”.
It said the militants’ activity “posed a threat” to its troops, prompting a strike to neutralize the target.

Earlier in the day, Lebanon’s National News Agency reported Israeli warplanes hit the outskirts of Nabatieh al-Fawqa in southern Lebanon, and Israeli forces conducted demolition explosions and artillery shelling in several border areas.
The incidents occurred despite a framework agreement reached recently between Lebanon and Israel aimed at ending hostilities along the border.
