Israeli army spokesperson Avichay Adraee said that Israeli forces opened fire overnight in the southern Lebanese town of Blida during an operation targeting what he described as Hezbollah infrastructure.

According to Adraee, troops spotted a suspect inside a building and attempted to detain him. “When a direct threat to our soldiers was identified, the force responded with live fire, resulting in a hit,” he stated, adding that the incident is under investigation.

He further claimed that the building had recently been used by Hezbollah for activities carried out “under the guise of civilian infrastructure.”
