Israel-Hezbollah border clashes: Latest developments

Hezbollah targeted Tuesday a group of soldiers in the Hadb Yarin post as Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said that Israeli troops will "very soon go into action" near the country's northern border with Lebanon.

Hezbollah also said it has targeted surveillance equipment near the border village al-Wazzani.

The group had claimed responsibility Monday for at least 12 attacks on Israeli army positions near the border, using Iranian-made Falaq-1 and Burkan missiles while the Israeli army said it carried out air strikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon.

On Tuesday, Israeli artillery and warplanes bombed Aita al-Shaab, and the outskirts of Mays al-Jabal, al-Naqoura, Dhaira, Yarin, al-Jebbayn and Tayr Harfa.

Since the outbreak of war between Hamas and Israel on October 7, the Lebanese-Israeli border has seen near-daily exchanges of fire between the Israeli army and Hezbollah.

More than 200 people, most of them Hezbollah members, have been killed in south Lebanon by Israeli fire since October 7, according to an AFP tally.

On the Israeli side of the border, nine soldiers and six civilians have been killed, according to Israeli officials.
