Fresh border clashes between Israel and Hezbollah
A new round of cross-border clashes erupted Sunday between the Israeli army and Hezbollah.
In separate statements, Hezbollah said it attacked the Birkat Risha and Hanita Israeli posts inflicting “certain casualties.”
The National News Agency meanwhile said that two rockets were from south Lebanon at the Saasaa area in north Israel.
Israel meanwhile bombed the outskirts of the southern Lebanese towns of Blida, al-Taybeh, Tayr Harfa, Khiam, Naqoura, Kfarkila and Kfarshouba.
Since October 8, the day after the Israel-Hamas war started, the Lebanon-Israel frontier has seen deadly exchanges of fire, mainly between the Israeli army and Hezbollah, which says it is acting in support of Hamas.
Since the clashes began, more than 120 people have been killed on the Lebanese side, most of them Hezbollah fighters but also a Lebanese soldier and 17 civilians, three of them journalists.
On the Israeli side, four civilians have been killed in addition to seven soldiers, authorities have said.
