Smoking shisha on a balcony overlooking where Hezbollah and Israel exchanged fire only hours before, Lebanese villager Abu Rami brushes it off, saying he is now used to such confrontations.

An Israeli drone fired a missile Sunday on the al-Khraibeh area in Rashaya al-Fukhar's outskirts, Lebanon’s National News Agency reported.

Israel’s Patriot air defense system had earlier fired a missile at a drone that crossed from Lebanon, Israeli media outlets said.

Senior Hezbollah official Sayyed Hashem Safieddine on Sunday warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that “this battle is not only Gaza’s battle,” hours after Hezbollah attacked Israeli military posts in the occupied Shebaa Farms.

“The responsibility obliges all the sons of our nation not to be neutral and we are not neutral,” Safieddine said during a pro-Palestine rally in Beirut’s southern suburbs.

Hezbollah on Sunday said it fired “a large number of artillery shells and guided missiles” at three Israeli military posts in the occupied Shebaa Farms as part of "liberating what's left of occupied Lebanese land and in solidarity with the Palestinian resistance."

Israel responded by firing artillery shells at areas in south Lebanon as one of its drones struck “Hezbollah infrastructure” in the Shebaa Farms area in response to the early morning attack. The "infrastructure" turned out to be the tent that Hezbollah had erected in the summer in the disputed area. The move had sparked months of tensions with Israel and the U.N. has been working to persuade Hezbollah to remove the tent.

Hundreds of people took to the streets Saturday in some Lebanese areas and in the country’s Palestinian refugee camps in celebration of Hamas’ unprecedented operation that has stunned Israel.

Hezbollah congratulated Hamas Saturday, praising the Palestinian "heroic" and "victorious" infiltration into southern Israel.

In a statement, Hezbollah said it is following up with the Palestinian factions on the operation, and called on Israel to "draw lessons" from it.

The Lebanese Army rescued more than 100 migrants after their boat developed technical problems in the Mediterranean off the coast of northern Lebanon, state-run National News Agency reported. No one was hurt in the incident.

The agency said the boat that was carrying 125 people, all of them Syrians except for one Lebanese, called for help after they faced problems while near the Palm Islands in Lebanese territorial waters. The boat was towed to the Lebanese port of Tripoli where some of the migrants received first aid, the agency added.

Former French president Nicolas Sarkozy was on Friday charged as part of an investigation into possible witness tampering, adding to his long list of legal woes, including over illegal campaign financing.
