Hezbollah launched multiple drones at Israeli troops in southern Lebanon on Tuesday, the IDF reported, a day after one soldier was severely wounded and another lightly hurt in a similar attack. Interceptor missiles were fired at two of the drones. The IDF characterized the strikes as ceasefire violations. Hezbollah has increasingly relied on small fiber-optic-guided FPV drones, which are difficult to jam electronically and have ranges of up to 15 kilometers. The attacks come despite a US-brokered ceasefire in effect since April 16, which Trump extended by three weeks last week while reaffirming Israel’s right to act in self-defense. Separately, the IDF opened an investigation into a Givati Brigade commander who permitted four bereaved soldiers to enter the southern Lebanese town of Bint Jbeil — still considered a combat zone — to recite Kaddish at the site where their relatives had fallen in earlier fighting.
