Israeli security sources said a hospital building struck in Nabatiyeh al-Fawqa, southern Lebanon, was completely empty and had served as a Hezbollah headquarters. Their assessment followed Lebanese reports that the building had been hit on Sunday morning. Earlier, the IDF said Hezbollah had launched two explosive drones toward Israeli troops operating in southern Lebanon, that one was intercepted and that no Israeli troops were injured. The military announced strikes in southern Lebanon in response, but its statement did not identify the hospital building or confirm the security sources' account of its use.
