The IDF stated that the Hezbollah position had been used earlier in the day to fire rockets toward Adamit, an Israeli community located less than a kilometer from the border with Lebanon.
Four Hezbollah terrorists killed in southern Lebanon
Late on Monday night, Reuters reported that Hezbollah had updated its toll of fighters killed in southern Lebanon to four.
The statement was reportedly released to the Lebanon-based Iranian proxy's Telegram channel.
Reuters reported that the terrorist group said its fighters "were martyred on the road to [liberate] Jerusalem" but did not specify how they had been killed.
The international news agency added that security sources had reported the first three were killed in an Israeli raid on two houses in the town of Kafr Kila in southern Lebanon.
This comes after the IDF said on Saturday that Israel Air Force fighter jets struck Hezbollah terror infrastructure in the town.
Reuters contributed to this report.
