The Israeli military claimed in a statement that its fighter jets attacked Hezbollah facilities in lebanon, and that its troops and aircraft targeted two cells that shot at Israeli forces or attempted to launch rockets into Israel. The Israeli military did not respond immediately to claims that four individuals had been murdered.
On Tuesday, an Israeli attack near the border with lebanon killed two journalists working for a Lebanese tv station and a third person, according to Lebanese official media and the channel, Al Mayadeen. According to Al Mayadeen, the hit, which occurred near the hamlet of Tir Harfa, about a mile from the Israeli border, was intended to target the tv crew since the station was known to be pro-Palestinian and pro-Iran's regional military alliance. Lebanese prime minister Najib Mikati criticised israel as well, stating in a statement that the strike was an effort by israel to muzzle the media.
