The Israeli Defense Forces eliminated a Hezbollah terrorist yesterday in the Al-Sharqiya area of southern Lebanon who was restoring the group's infrastructure, according to an IDF statement released this morning. Separately, the IDF and Shin Bet attacked Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists across the Gaza Strip yesterday in response to a ceasefire violation earlier this week in West Rafah. The Hezbollah terrorist's activity violated understandings between Israel and Lebanon, the IDF stated. The Gaza strikes targeted commanders from the two groups after armed terrorists fired on IDF forces in West Rafah, as announced by the IDF spokesman over the past hour. The IDF emphasized it will continue operations to remove threats and protect Israel, as stated in both announcements. The Gaza action followed a serious violation of the ceasefire agreement, with the IDF and Shin Bet taking a firm stance against terrorist plans targeting forces and civilians.
