Israel and Hezbollah exchange attacks after ceasefire violations

Israel and Hezbollah have exchanged attacks in southern Lebanon, with Israeli strikes hitting towns and Hezbollah launching a drone that targeted an Israeli helicopter. An Israeli soldier was killed in the drone strike. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the military has 'freedom of action' in southern Lebanon to counter threats, and he canceled a mass event at Meron amid renewed retaliatory strikes from Lebanon. The strikes also hit eastern Lebanon, expanding the scope of the conflict despite a ceasefire.
