Hezbollah launched an explosive drone at Israeli troops operating in southern Lebanon overnight, the military says, prompting strikes on the terror group's sites in response.
The IDF says no injuries were caused by the drone that targeted troops in the south Lebanon buffer zone.
Assessment
An explosive drone attack on Israeli troops in southern Lebanon violates the ceasefire understanding, even if it caused no casualties. Hezbollah is testing the limits of the buffer zone arrangement. The IDF's retaliatory strikes show a readiness to respond but also a desire to keep escalation contained. The real question is whether this is a single violation or the start of a new pattern.
