Rocket event in Northern District, Kiryat Shmona area, Israel on Mon 1st January 2024

The IDF says it carried out a wave of strikes against Hezbollah sites in Lebanon, following attacks on the border today, including one incident that left five reservists wounded.

Air Force fighter jets and other aircraft struck Hezbollah military sites, rocket launch positions and other infrastructure across southern Lebanon, the IDF says. It adds that a Hezbollah cell in the area of the village of Houla was also hit.

A "suspicious aerial target," believed to be a drone, that entered Israeli airspace from Lebanon was downed by air defenses over northern Israel, the IDF says. The interceptor missile set off alarms in Kiryat Shmona.

Hezbollah fired several projectiles at the Adamit area, lightly injuring five reservists, the IDF says. They were taken to a hospital for further treatment.

Hezbollah meanwhile names three members killed in Israeli strikes today.
