Israel-Hezbollah border clashes: Latest developments
The Israeli army bombed Friday several southern border towns while Hezbollah attacked several posts in northern Israel.
Hezbollah said it targeted the posts of al-Malkia and al-Marj and a group of soldiers near al-Raheb post.
Israeli warplanes meanwhile raided al-Naqoura, Alma al-Shaab and Aita al-Shaab, while Israeli artillery targeted the outskirts of al-Wazzani.
The Israeli army had bombed overnight Kfarkela, al-Naqoura and the outskirts of Alma al-Shaab, Tayr Harfa and Shamaa.
Hezbollah carried out Thursday six attacks on northern Israel and the occupied Kfarshouba Heights.
Since the war in Gaza erupted in October, there have been near-daily exchanges along the Lebanon-Israel border and international mediators have scrambled to prevent an all-out war in tiny Lebanon.
At least 322 people have been killed in Lebanon, mainly Hezbollah fighters but also 56 civilians, according to an AFP tally.
In Israel, at least 10 soldiers and seven civilians have been killed in the cross-border exchanges, the military says.
Hezbollah's chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said Wednesday that Israeli forces were too "exhausted" to launch an all-out war.
"This enemy is showing signs of fatigue," he said.
