The Israel Defense Forces said on Monday afternoon that it attacked several Hezbollah terrorists in the Sidon area on Lebanon’s southern coast.

Earlier on Monday, the IDF said that one of the two Hezbollah terrorists killed in Sunday’s Israeli strikes in Southern Lebanon was involved in efforts by the Iranian proxy to rebuild its “military” infrastructure.

The Islamist group’s actions in the Yater area “constituted a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon,” the army said, referring to the U.S.-brokered ceasefire reached in November.

IDF troops operating under the 91st “Galilee” Division killed four terrorists in Southern Lebanon over the past week, the military added.

“The IDF will continue to operate to remove any threat against the State of Israel,” the update concluded.
