Israel-Hezbollah border clashes: Latest developments
Hezbollah targeted Monday soldiers in the Biranit barracks in northern Israel and surveillance equipment in the al-Raheb post, while Israeli warplanes raided the southern border town of Mays al-Jabal and broke the sound barrier over Tyre, Sidon and al-Zahrani.
Also on Monday, the Israeli army struck Marwahin and shelled the outskirts of Shebaa in south Lebanon.
Hezbollah had carried out four attacks on Sunday on north Israel and the occupied Kfarshouba heights, including an attack with suicide drones on a command center in Ayelet.
Hezbollah has traded almost daily fire with Israeli forces in support of ally Hamas since the Palestinian militant group's October 7 attack on Israel triggered war in the Gaza Strip.
In Lebanon, the cross-border violence since October has killed more than 500 people, mostly fighters but also including more than 90 civilians, according to an AFP tally.
On the Israeli side, at least 29 people have been killed, the majority of them soldiers, according to the authorities.
The violence, largely restricted to the border area, has raised fears of all-out conflict between the foes, which last went to war in the summer of 2006.
