Netanyahu says Israel didn't know civilians were at Ansar site it struck
The office of Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Saturday that Hezbollah violated the ceasefire by attacking Israeli soldiers in the Ali al-Taher area in south Lebanon, seriously wounding three of them.
It said the Israeli military responded by striking the Hezbollah headquarters which allegedly ordered the attack, learning only later that Hezbollah “deliberately put civilians” in that military compound.
Israel's state broadcaster meanwhile said that Hezbollah fired an explosive drone at the Israeli soldiers as they were trying to round up Hezbollah operatives in the Ali al-Taher area.
