Hezbollah targets Israeli command center near Safed with suicide drone
The Israeli artillery shelled Tuesday the outskirts of Kfarshouba, al-Dhayra, Tayr Harfa and al-Naqoura, while Israeli warplanes struck Maroun al-Rass in south Lebanon. The Israeli army said the strike was on Hezbollah infrastructure and that the army was responding to missiles launched from Lebanon towards the Shlomi settlement.
An Israeli drone later targeted a cemetery in the town of Yaroun with two missiles.
Hezbollah for its part said it has targeted a group of soldiers in the Zar'it barracks, "inflicting casualties." The group later attacked with a suicide drone a "new command center" in Illit, near Safed.
On Monday, five soldiers were wounded in the Western Galilee from missiles launched from Lebanon, as Hezbollah targeted the Hadb al-Bustan post and a group of soldiers in Ya'ara.
The Israel-Lebanon border has been rocked by escalating exchanges of fire between the Israeli army and Hezbollah since the Israel-Hamas war broke out on October 7. Since the hostilities began, more than 160 people have been killed on the Lebanese side, most of them Hezbollah combatants but including more than 20 civilians, three of them journalists.
Hezbollah has claimed daily attacks on Israeli troops and positions, saying its actions are in support of Gaza.
On the Israeli side, at least five civilians and nine soldiers have been killed, according to the military.
