The Israeli Air Force struck several Hezbollah rocket launchers used in barrages on northern Israel a short while ago, the military says.

Rescue forces are responding to reports of a rocket impact in Nahariya following Hezbollah's latest barrage.

Several cars are ablaze by the impact.

A man in his 40s is moderately hurt in Nahariya following Hezbollah's latest rocket barrage, medics say.

Magen David Adom says the man was hit by fragments following an interception.

Moments before the 10-day ceasefire in Lebanon takes effect, the IDF says it struck over 380 Hezbollah targets in the south of the country in the past day.

The targets included Hezbollah operatives, command centers, and several rocket launchers used in attacks on Israel, according to the military.

The IDF says it remains "on high alert and will act in accordance with the directives of the political echelon."

Minutes before the ceasefire in Lebanon took effect, Hezbollah fired a barrage of five rockets at the Galilee Panhandle.

According to the IDF, most of the rockets were intercepted and one struck an open area.

The 10-day ceasefire in Lebanon now takes effect.

The Home Front Command says it is lifting all of its wartime restrictions across the country as the ceasefire with Lebanon appears to hold, as well as amid the ongoing truce in Iran.

All gathering restrictions are lifted nationwide, aside from communities on the Lebanon border, where gatherings will remain restricted to 1,000 people until Saturday at 8 p.m.

After Saturday at 8 p.m., the gathering restrictions in the Lebanon border communities will also be lifted, the military says.

During an airstrike ahead of the ceasefire in southern Lebanon yesterday, the IDF says a bomb mistakenly struck next to the ground troops.

According to the IDF, the Israeli Air Force had targeted a suspicious building next to the troops.

"Due to a human error, the munition did not hit the target and fell next to the forces," the military says, adding that no injuries were caused.

The incident is under further investigation, the IDF adds.

Lebanese media reports one killed in an Israeli drone strike targeting a motorcycle between the southern towns of Kounine and Beit Yahoun.

There is no immediate comment from the IDF on the incident.

Just before the ceasefire with Hezbollah took effect, the IDF says it carried out a special operation in southern Lebanon during which troops seized control of a strategic ridge.

The Israeli Air Force's elite Shaldag unit landed at the so-called Cristofani Ridge, several kilometers north of Mount Hermon, and established control in the area.

The military says the special forces landed in the area just minutes before the ceasefire took effect.

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, who approved the raid, observed the operation alongside IAF chief Maj. Gen. Tomer Bar at the IAF's command center.

The IDF says troops stationed in the southern Gaza Strip killed a Palestinian terror operative who crossed the ceasefire line earlier today.

Reservists of the Negev Brigade "identified a terrorist who crossed the Yellow Line and approached the troops in a manner that posed an immediate threat," the IDF says, adding that "immediately after the identification, the troops eliminated the terrorist to remove the threat."

The IDF says it carried out several strikes in southern Lebanon in the past day against Hezbollah operatives who "violated the ceasefire understandings."

Troops operating south of the "Yellow Line" in southern Lebanon "identified terrorists who violated the ceasefire understandings and approached the forces from north of the Yellow Line in a manner that posed an immediate threat," the military says.

The IDF says the Israeli Air Force and ground troops "struck the terrorists in several areas in southern Lebanon" to "remove the threat."

The Yellow Line in southern Lebanon refers to the military's line of deployment as the ceasefire took effect on Thursday night.

In addition, the military says it carried out artillery shelling in support of ground troops operating in southern Lebanon, "and terror infrastructure was destroyed in response to threats."

The IDF says it is acting "in accordance with the directives of the political echelon."

"Accordingly, the IDF is authorized to take the necessary measures for self-defense against threats, while safeguarding the security of Israeli civilians and the troops deployed on the ground," the military says in a statement.

"Actions of self-defense and the removal of threats are not limited by the ceasefire," the IDF says, adding that it will "not allow harm to the citizens of Israel and its soldiers, and will take all necessary actions to ensure their security."

The military says that it will continue to clear the area currently under its control of Hezbollah infrastructure, operatives, and any other threats.

The UN Interim Force in Lebanon blames "non-state actors" for a deadly attack on its observers in southern Lebanon today.

"This morning, a UNIFIL patrol clearing explosive ordnance along a road in the village of Ghanduriyah to re-establish links with isolated UNIFIL positions came under small-arms fire from non-state actors. Tragically, one peacekeeper succumbed to his injuries and three others were injured, two of them seriously," the observer force says in a statement.

French President Emmanuel Macron said that the attack killed a French soldier, and that it was apparently carried out by Hezbollah.

Hezbollah says it denies any involvement in the deadly attack on United Nations observers in southern Lebanon this morning, after the terror group was blamed for the incident.

UNIFIL said that a patrol clearing explosive ordnance along a road in the village of Ghanduriyah came under "small-arms fire from non-state actors," resulting in one observer killed and three others wounded, including two seriously.

French President Emmanuel Macron said that the attack killed a French soldier, and that it was apparently carried out by Hezbollah. UNIFIL said that an "initial assessment indicates the fire came from non-state actors (allegedly Hizbullah)."

The terror group in a statement says it "calls for caution in issuing judgments and responsibilities regarding the incident," and that it "expresses surprise at the [parties] that rushed to throw accusations arbitrarily."

The IDF says it killed several Hezbollah operatives who "violated the ceasefire understandings" and posed a threat to troops stationed in southern Lebanon earlier today.

The military says troops of the 401st Armored Brigade identified "a cell of terrorists that violated the ceasefire understandings and approached the forces in a manner that posed an immediate threat, during their activity in southern Lebanon, south of the forward defense line area used to prevent a direct threat to northern communities."

To "remove the threat," the Israeli Air Force struck and "eliminated the terrorists," the IDF says.

In another incident south of the "forward defense line," also dubbed the Yellow Line, the army says it struck a Hezbollah tunnel shaft after identifying members of the terror group entering it.

In two separate incidents today, Israeli troops killed two Palestinian terror operatives who crossed the Gaza ceasefire line, the military says.

The IDF says that reservists of the 205th "Iron Fist" Armored Brigade, operating in the Strip's north, and Negev Brigade, stationed in southern Gaza, "identified two terrorists who crossed the Yellow Line and approached the forces in a manner that posed an immediate threat."

In both cases, the troops "eliminated the terrorists to remove the threat," the IDF says.

An IDF reservist was killed, and three other soldiers were wounded after being hit by an explosive device in southern Lebanon after the ceasefire with Hezbollah took effect on Friday, the military announces.

The slain soldier is named as Warrant Officer (res.) Barak Kalfon, 48, of the 226th Reserve Paratroopers Brigade's 7056th Battalion, from Adi.

The reservists were scanning a building in the southern Lebanon village of Jebbayn for weapons.

During the scans, a Hezbollah explosive device detonated, killing Kalfon and wounding three other troops, including two moderately and one lightly.

According to an initial IDF probe, the bomb was not remotely detonated.

Further details are under investigation by the military.

The wounded troops were airlifted to a hospital in northern Israel, and their families were notified, the IDF adds.

An IDF reservist was killed and nine others were wounded, including one seriously, after being hit by an explosive device in southern Lebanon yesterday, the military announces.

The slain soldier is named as Sgt. First Class (res.) Lidor Porat, 31, of the 769th "Hiram" Regional Brigade's 7106th Battalion, from Ashdod.

The incident took place amid the ongoing ceasefire in Lebanon.

During operations of the battalion in IDF-controlled territory in southern Lebanon, an engineering vehicle drove over a bomb that had been planted by Hezbollah, according to an initial military probe.

Soldiers stationed in the area to secure the heavy machinery were hit by the blast, leading to Porat's death and the injury of nine others, including one seriously, four moderately, and four lightly.

Immediately after the blast, the IDF struck several targets in the area.

The wounded soldiers were airlifted to a hospital and their families were notified, the army adds.

Further details surrounding the incident are under investigation by the military.
