Israeli airstrike hit Kherbet Selem. At least 2 people reported injured. The border is still very much not “calm,” no matter how often that word gets used.

The latest strikes come amid ongoing border tensions between Israel and Lebanon.
The operation was launched in response to “violations of the ceasefire understandings between Israel and Lebanon,” the military said in a statement.
