Hezbollah targeted Friday surveillance equipment in Metula and Israeli soldiers in Hanita in northern Israel.

The Israeli army meanwhile fired at Lebanese Army soldiers in al-Ghajar, but no casualties were reported.

The National News Agency reported that warplanes broke the sound barrier in northern Lebanon over Keserwan, Jbeil, Tripoli, al-Koura and al-Matn.

The Israeli army had fired overnight into dawn flare bombs at southern villages along the border, and heavy-caliber machineguns at Ramia and Aita al-Shaab.

In Lebanon, the cross-border violence since October has killed nearly 500 people, mostly fighters but also including 95 civilians, according to an AFP tally.

On the Israeli side, at least 29 people have been killed, the majority of them soldiers, according to the authorities.
