Israel-Hezbollah clashes: Latest developments
Hezbollah on Monday announced waging two attacks on Israeli posts in northern Israel as Israeli shelling and airstrikes targeted several Lebanese southern border towns.
In a statement, Hezbollah said it attacked Israeli troops near the Mattat barracks with the “appropriate weapons.”
In two other statements, the group said it attacked the Beit Hillel military base east of Kiryat Shmona, achieving “certain casualties,” and a gathering of Israeli troops neat the Birket Risha post.
Israel’s Channel 12 meanwhile said that an anti-tank missile fired from Lebanon had landed in the Miskav Am settlement causing no casualties.
Israeli artillery shelling meanwhile targeted the outskirts of Adaisseh, Sarda, Wadi Hamoul, Kfarkila, Deir Mimas, Rwaisseh, al-Hamames, al-Ezziyeh, al-Awaida, Hanine and Aita al-Shaab.
An Israeli airstrike meanwhile targeted an open agricultural area south of Mays al-Jabal, causing no casualties, as Israeli drones bombed the outskirts of Aita al-Shaab and the al-Raheb Hill.
Israeli warplanes also struck the peripheries of the town of Aitaroun, with heavy smoke billowing and the explosions echoing across the Bint Jbeil district.
Hezbollah meanwhile announced the death of two more of its fighters in south Lebanon, identifying as Abbas Hazimeh from Mays al-Jabal and Wissam Hammoud from Markaba.
Since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war on Oct. 7, Hezbollah and Israeli forces have engaged in near-daily clashes on the border that have killed around 150 people on the Lebanese side -- most of them fighters with Hezbollah and allied groups, but also at least 17 civilians.
On the Israeli side, at least four civilians and eight soldiers have been killed, according to Israeli officials.
