Israeli airstrikes on south as Hezbollah attacks artillery positions

Israel carried out several airstrikes on southern Lebanese border towns on Sunday, as Hezbollah announced a fresh attack on Israeli posts.

Hezbollah’s al-Manar televisions said an Israeli warplane fired three missiles at a house in Rab Tlatine as an Israeli drone bombed a school in al-Taybeh.

Israeli warplanes also carried out five strikes on the al-Labbouneh area south of Naqoura.

Artillery shells meanwhile targeted the outskirts of Yaroun, Maroun al-Ras and Aitaroun.

Hezbollah meanwhile announced targeting Israeli artillery positions in Dishon with missiles.

The Israeli army for its part said that several shells had landed in the occupied Shebaa Farms.

An Israeli airstrike had overnight targeted a house in Aitaroun, killing Hezbollah member Hussein Salameh, who hails from the town.

Hezbollah had carried out four attacks on Israeli posts on Saturday.

Since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war on Oct. 7, Hezbollah and Israeli forces have engaged in near-daily clashes on the border that have killed around 150 people on the Lebanese side -- most of them fighters with Hezbollah and allied groups, but also at least 17 civilians.

On the Israeli side, at least four civilians and eight soldiers have been killed, according to Israeli officials.
