A prominent member of Hezbollah's air defense unit was killed in a drone strike in northeastern Lebanon earlier today, the IDF says.

According to the military, Maytham Mustafa al-Attar was considered to be "a significant source of knowledge" in Hezbollah's air defense unit, and was involved in planning and carrying out attacks against Israel.

The IDF says al-Attar obtained his knowledge during visits to Iran, and was involved in aiding the Lebanese terror group to procure Iranian weapons.

Al-Attar was struck while driving near the town of Shaat in the northeastern Baalbek district, around 100 kilometers from the Israeli border.

The IDF says his killing is "a blow to the capabilities of Hezbollah's air defense unit."

Hezbollah announced al-Attar's death, which brings the terror group's toll amid the war in Gaza to at least 361.

The IDF confirms carrying out an airstrike against a United Nations-run school in the central Gaza Strip earlier today, saying the facility was used by Hamas operatives as a command center.

Before carrying out the strike against UNRWA's al-Jaouni school in Nuseirat, the IDF says it carried out "many steps" to mitigate harm to civilians, including using aerial surveillance and other intelligence.

According to the military, buildings within the school compound were used by Hamas operatives as "a hideout and as active operational infrastructure, from which terrorist operations against our forces operating in the Gaza Strip were planned and carried out."

Several Hamas operatives were at the sites when they were struck, the IDF says.

"The Hamas terror organization regularly violates international law, while systematically exploiting civilian buildings and the civilian population as human shields for terror activity against the State of Israel," the military adds.

Hamas health authorities said 16 people were killed in the strike, and some 50 were wounded.

Israeli fighter jets struck Hezbollah infrastructure and an observation post in southern Lebanon's Houla, and another observation post in Odaisseh, the IDF says.

It publishes footage of the strikes.

Rocket sirens sounding in the Lower Galilee

Dozens of rockets were launched in the attack on northern Israel, according to initial IDF assessments.

The Khan Younis municipality building in the southern Gaza Strip was hit by a drone strike overnight, with the military saying the site was used by Hamas operatives.

According to the IDF, within the municipality building, there is a tunnel shaft that connects to Hamas's underground network in Khan Younis. It also says the building was used by Hamas operatives as a staging ground.

Before carrying out the strike, the IDF says it carried out "several steps" to mitigate harm to civilians, including evacuating Palestinians from the area.

"Hamas operates within the humanitarian area and regularly violates international law, systematically exploiting civilian buildings and the civilian population as human shields for terror activity against the State of Israel," the military adds.

Meanwhile, the IDF says it killed a terrorist who launched a rocket from Gaza City's Shejaiya neighborhood at the Israeli border town of Nahal Oz yesterday. The strike was carried out a short while after the rocket attack.

Also in Shejaiya, the IDF says troops with the 98th Division killed several gunmen, destroyed sites used by terror groups, and located weapons over the past day.

In southern Gaza's Rafah, the IDF says troops with the 162nd Division killed more than 30 gunmen in close-quarters combat and by calling in airstrikes in the past day.

Another airstrike in Rafah targeted a primed rocket launcher, the military adds.

An Israeli man is seriously wounded by shrapnel from a rocket impact in the Lower Galilee, medics say.

The Magen David Adom ambulance service says the 28-year-old is being taken to Baruch Padeh Medical Center in serious condition.

Hezbollah launched dozens of rockets from Lebanon at northern Israel in the attack.

The man was wounded by a rocket impact in an open area near the northern community of Kfar Zeitim.

Around 20 rockets were launched in the Hezbollah attack from Lebanon against the Lower Galilee, according to the IDF.

Earlier today, a suspected drone was shot down by air defenses over the border community of Ramot Naftali, the IDF says.

Sirens had sounded in the community at around 5:30 a.m. over fears of falling shrapnel.

There were no injuries in that incident.

Hezbollah takes responsibility for the rocket barrage on the Lower Galilee this morning, claiming to have targeted an Israeli military base near Tiberias.

The terror group says the attack was a response to the assassination of one of its members in an IDF drone strike in northeastern Lebanon yesterday.

The rocket attack seriously wounded an Israeli civilian near the town of Kfar Zeitim.

Yesterday's drone strike killed a key member of Hezbollah's air defense unit.

Lebanese media report an Israeli strike in the town of Maaroub, in the Tyre district.

Surveillance camera footage shows the Hezbollah rocket impact near the northern community of Kfar Zeitim which seriously wounded an Israeli man.

Several rocket interceptions and impacts reported in the Mount Meron area, following a barrage launched from Lebanon by Hezbollah.

Earlier today, two anti-tank missiles were launched from southern Lebanon's Ayta ash-Shab at the Shtula area in northern Israel.

The IDF says no injuries were caused in the attack, and a short while later, fighter jets struck a building used by Hezbollah to carry out the missile fire.

A separate building used by Hezbollah in Maaroub, and infrastructure in Naqoura, were also struck, the IDF says.
