Israel airstrikes hit deep in south as Hezbollah fires Burkan rockets
Hezbollah carried out Tuesday more than eight attacks on Israeli posts, including an attack with Burkan rockets on the Israeli Zebdine post in the occupied Shebaa farms.
Israel's army for its part shelled and fired heavy machinegun bursts towards the Zebdine Farm and its artillery shelled several border towns including Jabal Blat, Blida, Mhaibib, Mays al-Jabal, al-Khiam, Bestra, al-Naqoura, al-Khraybeh and al-Majidiyah.
Hezbollah also targeted Shomera, al-Baghdadi, and soldiers in Ramia, al-Raheb and Dovev. It also targeted an Israeli force in Branit. The group said targets were direct hits and inflicted casualties, while Israeli media said one soldier was wounded in Adamit.
Earlier on Tuesday, Israeli warplanes carried out two airstrikes on the border town of Mays al-Jabal amd later struck Jebshit deep in the south near Nabatieh, more than 20 kilometers from the border. Hezbollah had fired a surface-to-air missile at an Israeli military aircraft.
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.
Meanwhile Israeli media said that an Israeli soldier has died of his wounds caused by an anti-tank missile fired from Lebanon last week.
