The Prime Minister's Office announced this evening (Saturday night) that Netanyahu ordered the IDF to vigorously attack Hezbollah targets in Lebanon.
This follows 20 ceasefire violations by the terrorist organization Hezbollah.
A few hours later, an IDF spokesman announced: "The IDF attacked military-use buildings used by the Hezbollah terrorist organization throughout southern Lebanon.".
""The structures that were attacked were used by the terrorist organization Hezbollah to promote terrorist plots against IDF forces and the State of Israel.".
""The IDF will continue to act decisively in the face of threats against the citizens of the State of Israel and IDF forces, and will act in accordance with the directives of the political echelon.".
Alarms sounded this afternoon in Manara, Margaliot and Misgav Am, in the Finger of Galilee, following the launch of two rockets from Lebanon. One of the rockets exploded in an open area and the other was intercepted. There were no casualties.
An IDF spokesman defined the incident as "a blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement by Hezbollah.".
About an hour later - at 5:17 PM, alerts were activated regarding the intrusion of a UAV in communities in the Western Galilee, including Hanita, Ya'ara, Matzoba, Shlomi, Betzet, Rosh Hanikra and Avdon. The IDF reported that the Air Force intercepted a suspected aerial target and lost contact with another target, without casualties.
Shortly before the rockets were launched, the IDF announced that it had intercepted a suspicious aerial target in the area of force activity in southern Lebanon, which did not cross into Israeli territory and therefore no alerts were activated.
During the day, IDF attacks were reported in Lebanon in several areas, alongside a repeated evacuation announcement by IDF spokesman in Arabic, Avihai Edrei, who called on residents not to return to villages in the south of the country.
During the day, six terrorists were eliminated in various attacks, including hitting a vehicle and a motorcycle in southern Lebanon, as well as attacks in the Litani region.
It was also reported that forces from Division 36, Golani, and the multi-dimensional unit identified and eliminated armed terrorists in several locations, and a total of 15 terrorists were eliminated over the weekend.
During the night, the IDF attacked Hezbollah launchers in three areas in southern Lebanon, noting that these were means that posed a real threat to Israeli forces and citizens.
The IDF emphasized that the attacks were carried out north of the front defense line.
Heads of authorities in the north criticized the continued shooting.
The head of the Upper Galilee Regional Council, Assaf Langelvan, said: "This is not a ceasefire. This is a tense silence that this time was broken by a barrage of rockets on Menara and Margaliot.".
The head of the Mateh Asher Regional Council and chairman of the Confrontation Line Forum, Moshe Davidovich, said: "What's happening here is not a ceasefire, it's perhaps non-stop fire.".
