Israel-Hezbollah clashes: Latest developments
Two people were wounded Friday in an Israeli airstrike on the southern town of Baraashit, around 10 kilometers from the border, MTV reported.
Another airstrike destroyed a house between the southern towns of al-Mansouri and Majdal Zoun, the National News Agency said.
Israeli artillery meanwhile targeted the al-Mutran Hill in Marjeyoun’s Sarda with two shells.
Later on Friday, several missiles were fired from Lebanon at Israel's Shtula according to Israeli reports, as Hezbollah announced the death of three fighters who hail from the southern town of Blida.
Hezbollah also said that it targeted Israeli troops in the vicinity of the al-Raheb post with artillery shells, as Al-Jazeera said rockets were fired at the al-Sammaqa Israeli post in the occupied Kfarshouba Hills and at the al-Radar Israeli post in the occupied Shebaa Farms.
Israeli artillery shelling also targeted the border towns of Mays al-Jabal and Houla.
The Israeli army had at dawn fired heavy-caliber machineguns at the forests adjacent to the border towns of Ramia and Aita al-Shaab.
An Israeli airstrike overnight destroyed a house in Majdal Zoun, with the flying glass shards and stones causing minor injuries among the town’s residents. Another airstrike meanwhile hit the town of Ramia, causing material damage.
Hezbollah has targeted Israeli positions across the border almost daily since an October 7 attack by its Palestinian ally Hamas triggered war with Israel. Israeli forces have responded with strikes against Hezbollah positions as well as targeted operations against senior officials.
The border clashes since October have killed at least 303 people in Lebanon, mostly Hezbollah fighters but including 50 civilians. On the Israeli side, 10 soldiers and seven civilians have been killed according to the Israeli army.
