Israeli aircraft struck a terror target south of Beirut, Lebanon, on Thursday night, said the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit.
According to the statement, a direct hit was identified and all aircraft returned safely to their bases.
The IDF statement said that the airstrike came in response to Thursday afternoon’s rocket attack from Lebanon at northern Israel.
"Yesterday's attack is a blatant breach is Israeli sovereignty that jeopardized Israeli civilian life. Israel will not tolerate terrorist aggression originating from Lebanese territory. The IDF will continue to operate to safeguard the State of Israel and its civilians," said the statement.
Four rockets were fired from Lebanon on Thursday afternoon, with at least one confirmed as having struck in the area of Nahariya.
One rocket was intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defense system, between Akko and Nahariya, the IDF said. Three others struck in "open areas." Several residents were treated for shock.

Achmed and Salim sit around all day with their fingers up their bum with nothing to do. Might as well launch Katusha rockets into Northern Israel for fun. Who knows? Maybe you’ll hit a school or an apartment building...
Devastate the Jihadis, it’s what they understand and strangely, respect and love.
Good evening NSA
That’s the way to do it: rocket attack Thursday afternoon, IDF retaliation Thursday night! Go, Israel!
