New round of Hezbollah-Israel skirmishes erupts on the border

Hezbollah on Saturday attacked the al-Jirdah, Hadb al-Bustan, Jal al-Alam and Malkia Israeli military posts on Lebanon’s border.

Israel retaliated with an airstrike on the al-Labbouneh area in Naqoura and artillery shelling on the Lebanese border areas of Naqoura, Yarin, Tayr Harfa, Dhayra, Shihin and Aitaroun.

The Israeli army said it targeted “two cells that tried to fire shells from Lebanon at Israeli territory.” It also said that it destroyed a Hezbollah surveillance post.

It had earlier said that one of its tanks had attacked a cell that was trying to fire anti-tank shells as a drone targeted a militant who approached the border fence in the Shlomi area.
