These operations targeted sites suspected of being used by Hezbollah operatives.
It added that the operation involved direct clashes that resulted in the death of one operative.
The statement indicated that the participating forces continued their operations in the area as part of efforts aimed,

There has also been an increase in reciprocal military operations in recent months in southern Lebanon,
particularly north of the Litani River, where military activity is frequent.
The northern front between Israel and Lebanon is witnessing a continuous escalation with airstrikes and limited ground operations.
Israel maintains that it is targeting Hezbollah infrastructure,
while the group claims to have launched missile and drone attacks against Israeli positions.
This development occurs within a broader context of escalating regional tensions,
amid international warnings about the widening scope of the confrontations and their impact on regional stability.
