A rocket was launched Saturday night toward an IDF UAV in the area of the border with Lebanon, the IDF confirmed.
The IDF Aerial Defense Array intercepted the rocket, and the aircraft was not damaged. In response to the launch, IDF aircraft struck the military compound from which the rocket was launched.
In addition, IDF fighter jets struck Hezbollah military infrastructure and observation equipment, in response to the shooting incidents toward Israeli territory earlier on Saturday.
An IDF soldier was severely injured earlier Saturday after he was hit by an anti-tank missile in the Bar'am area. The soldier was evacuated to hospital.
Two additional soldiers were lightly injured and received medical treatment at the scene. Their families have been notified.
