The Israeli military says its soldiers struck a “cell of armed terrorists” in southern Lebanon, the first fighting it has reported since Saturday evening, AFP reports.

“A short while ago, the IDF identified a cell of armed terrorists operating in close proximity to IDF soldiers in the security zone in the Ali al-Taher Ridge area,” the military has said.

“Following the identification, the soldiers struck the terrorists north of the security zone in order to remove the threat,” it has added, without elaborating.
