Hezbollah targets Israeli posts, Israel bombs south Lebanon
the Israeli artillery shelled Tuesday the outskirts of the southern Lebanese border towns of Aitaroun and Houla while empty areas between Beit Leef and Ramia were targeted by drones.
Hezbollah, for its part, targeted the Israeli posts of al-Raheb, Zariit, Khirbet Ma'ar and Malkia, and soldiers in the Jal al-Alam post. The attacks were direct hits and inflicted casualties, Hezbollah said.
Also on Tuesday, an Iron Dome interceptor missile fell near a school in Yater, causing only material damage.
The Israeli army had shelled at night the Hamoul region near al-Naqoura and al-Khiam with white phosphorus, burning a house, while drones attacked another house in al-Khiam and a building in Odeisseh. The border towns of Houla and Mays al-Jabal were shelled with flare bombs and a Lebanese army position was targeted with machinegun fire in the Kfarshouba Heights.
Hezbollah says it entered the fray in support of Hamas on October 8, the day after the Palestinian militants launched their unprecedented attack on south Israel.
More than 120 people have been killed on the Lebanese side of the border since October 7, mostly Hezbollah fighters and more than a dozen civilians, according to an AFP tally.
Israel says six of its soldiers and four Israeli civilians have been killed in the area, and Lebanon lost its first soldier on Tuesday.
