IDF says it targeted Hezbollah rocket launcher in southern Lebanon with drone strike
[IsraelTimes] The IDF says it carried out a drone strike against a Hezbollah rocket launcher that was spotted in southern Lebanon’s Majdal Zoun earlier today.

The launcher “posed a threat to the State of Israel while violating the understandings between Israel and Lebanon,” the military says.

Troops also demolished Hezbollah weapons found today in southern Lebanon’s Khiam, as-Sawana, and Aitaroun, the IDF says.

“The IDF is deployed in southern Lebanon and acts against any threat that endangers the State of Israel,” the army adds.
More from the Times of Israel:
In recent days, Israel has tried to undercut Hezbollah’s ability to rebuild its military forces, striking several Hezbollah rocket launchers in Lebanon, bombing border crossings with Syria, and blocking an Iranian aircraft suspected of ferrying weapons for the group.

On Wednesday, the Israel Defense Forces said it had carried out a drone strike against a Hezbollah rocket launcher that was spotted in southern Lebanon’s Majdal Zoun.

The launcher “posed a threat to the State of Israel while violating the understandings between Israel and Lebanon,” the military said.

Troops also demolished Hezbollah weapons found Wednesday in southern Lebanon’s Khiam, as-Sawana and Aitaroun, the IDF said.

“The IDF is deployed in southern Lebanon and acts against any threat that endangers the State of Israel,” the army added.
And this sweet little tidbit:
US Ambassador Lew cautions Israel against blowing issues out of proportion in trying to maintain the ceasefire with Hezbollah.

“Israel has made clear that it has to be able to defend itself, but they also have to act in a way that doesn’t take small things and turn them into big things,” Lew says.

Since the ceasefire came into effect last week, Israel has carried out a handful of strikes on southern Lebanon at what it has said were Hezbollah targets in violation of the deal’s terms. France and Lebanon have accused Israel of violating the ceasefire with these strikes.
