Hezbollah targeted Monday the Israeli Biranit post with four Volcano missiles (Burkan) and Israel retaliated by shelling several border towns including al-Labbouneh, al-Naqoura, Ain al-Zarqaa, Yaroun, Rmeish, Aita al-Shaab, Mays al-Jabal, Houla and Tayr Harfa.
later on Monday, Hezbollah targeted other Israeli posts, including the Zebdine barracks in the occupied Shebaa Farms, Ramim, the Bar'am kibbutz, Hadb al-Bustan, Malkia and Hadb Yaroun.
Hezbollah also targeted an infantry force near al-Dhaira and another force near al-Taihat, "inflicting casualties."
the Israeli army for its part shelled several border towns including Rob Tlatine, Markaba, al-Jebbayn, Mhaibib, Maroun al-Rass, Aitaroun, Yarine, Odeisseh and Kfarkela, using helicopter gunships and warplanes in addition to artillery shelling. The house of Amal MP Qabalan Qabalan in Mays al-Jabal was targeted by Israeli artillery.
Meanwhile, sirens sounded in Kiryat Shmona, Margaliot, Shlomi, and Manara as Hezbollah attacked Israeli troop gatherings west of Kiryat Shmona with three attack drones and twenty-five artillery shells. Hezbollah said the attacks inflicted direct casualties, while the Israeli Army claimed there were no casualties.
Since the start of the Israeli war on Gaza, Hezbollah and Israel have exchanged daily cross-border fire. Hezbollah has reportedly fired more than a thousand munitions at Israeli targets since.
At least 90 people have been killed on the Lebanese side, most of them Hezbollah combatants but including at least 10 civilians.
Six soldiers and three civilians have been killed on the Israeli side, according to authorities there, while hospitals in northern Israel have reportedly received more than 1500 injured soldiers and civilians.
