Hezbollah drone launch near IDF forces in southern Lebanon
In southern Lebanon, the IDF reports that a Hezbollah drone was launched toward Israeli forces in an attempt to assist militants escaping an underground complex on the Ali Taher ridge. The drone failed to explode, resulting in no casualties or damage. Military officials believe approximately 15 militants remain in the complex, which is considered the last known location of Hezbollah fighters within the Israeli security zone. While the IDF views the launch as a serious violation of the ceasefire agreement, no military response has been issued thus far.
In domestic news, the Israeli government has announced the 'From Reservists to Key' program. This initiative aims to provide approximately 20,000 housing solutions, including apartments and plots, for reservists during 2026 and 2027. Eligible reservists may receive benefits exceeding 500,000 shekels. Additionally, the government is planning to offer full land value exemptions for reservists purchasing plots in priority area A.
Separately, a Temple Mount activist has filed a civil lawsuit against the Israel Police and the Israel Prison Service. The lawsuit claims the individual was handcuffed and detained for several hours despite a court order for his immediate release. The incident occurred during Passover in Jerusalem's Old City.
