Hezbollah targets Israeli post with suicide explosive drones

Hezbollah attacked Thursday the headquarters of the Israeli Zebdine's brigade in the Shebaa Farms with two suicide drones loaded with explosives, after it simultaneously targeted Israeli army posts along the border with Lebanon.

Earlier on Thursday, Israel shelled Khallat al-Mahafer near the southern town of Adaisseh, the outskirts of Ramya, Blat, Abou Laban near Aita al-Shaab, Tayr Harfa, al-Jebbayn, and al-Naqoura.

It also shelled Wadi al-Olleik with incendiary and flare bombs, hours after the army retrieved the bodies of two Lebanese shepherds killed by Israeli fire as they passed with their herds by the Wazani river along the border.

Hezbollah, for its part, targeted the al-Abbad Israeli military post facing the town of Houla, Avivim, al-Assi, al-Marj, Raas al-Naqoura, al-Jerdah and other posts with mortar shells and guided missiles, as alert sirens wailed in the Galilee along the border.

Israeli media said twenty-five missiles and shells simultaneously targeted Israeli army posts along the border with Lebanon.

Israel responded by shelling the southern towns of Meis al-Jabal, Aitaroun, the outskirts of Maroun al-Ras and Markaba, Marwahin, Yarin, and other southern towns.

Hezbollah said it had intercepted and destroyed overnight an Israeli drone with a surface-to-air missile over the villages of al-Malkia and Hounin.
