Israel shells south Lebanon areas after fresh Hezbollah attack

A fresh exchange of gunfire erupted Wednesday afternoon between Israel and Hezbollah on the Lebanese-Israeli border.

“Hezbollah is targeting Israeli surveillance infrastructure on the border with Lebanon,” Hezbollah’s al-Manar TV reported, adding that guided missiles were also fired at the Ras al-Naqoura and Jal al-Alam Israeli military posts.

Al-Jazeera television meanwhile said that Israeli shelling was targeting the area around Aita al-Shaab in south Lebanon.

A Lebanese farmer was meanwhile wounded by Israeli gunfire in the outskirts of the Lebanese border town of Aitaroun, al-Manar had earlier reported.

Hezbollah had earlier claimed a dawn attack on an Israeli military post.

Moreover, Hezbollah announced the death of another one of its members in the confrontations that have been raging for days on Lebanon’s border. The clashes had started a day after the eruption of the Israel-Hamas war on October 7.
