Fresh skirmishes between Israel and Hezbollah on Lebanon border
A new round of clashes erupted Saturday morning between the Israeli army and Hezbollah in the Lebanese-Israel border region.
In a statement, Hezbollah said it fired rockets at artillery positions in the Khirbat Maer Israeli post near the border. The Israeli army later said that shells were fired at the Shomera area in northern Israel and that it responded with artillery fire.
Israeli shelling meanwhile targeted the outskirts of the southern Lebanese border towns of Tayr Harfa, Naqoura, Maroun al-Ras, Yaroun, Blida, Alma al-Shaab and al-Qawzah, Hezbollah's al-Manar TV said.
Hezbollah meanwhile announced the death of one more of its fighters, identifying him as Khodor Abboud, who hailed from the southern town of Deir Ames.
Two Hezbollah members and the mother of one of them were killed in Israel's strikes on south Lebanon on Friday as the hostilities resumed following a weeklong truce between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
