Hezbollah says downed Israeli drone overnight

Hezbollah said Friday it has downed an Israeli drone overnight in southern Lebanon and targeted Friday a military post and a group of Israeli soldiers in northern Israel.

The group said it has downed the drone over the al-Azziyeh valley in the Tyre district, in support of Gaza and its resistance, and targeted the al-Baghdadi post and a group of soldiers in the Ramim barracks in northern Israel.

Israeli warplanes and drones meanwhile targeted Aita al-Shaab, Jabal Blat and the outskirts of Ramia and Marwahin.

Israeli warplanes had raided overnight al-Labbouneh and a valley between Ramia, Beit Leef and Aita al-Shaab.

As the Gaza war raged, Hezbollah and the Israeli army have traded almost daily fire.

On the Lebanese side, at least 280 people have been killed, mostly Hezbollah fighters and their allies, along with 44 civilians, according to an AFP tally.

On the Israeli side, the army says 10 soldiers and six civilians have been killed, while tens of thousands of residents on both sides have been displaced.
