Hezbollah’s “powerful” response to the Dahieh airstrike that killed its military chief Fouad Shukur and six other people “has become imminent, after mediators exhausted the chance to reach a ceasefire and exchange of captives in Gaza,” a Lebanese political leader said.

“Hezbollah refrained from carrying out the decided strike over the past period to allow the mediators to finalize a settlement based on U.S. President Joe Biden’s initiative and Egypt and Qatar’s proposals, but Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s intransigence and his insistence on obstructing the negotiations … prevented the success of the Doha talks last week, and will also destroy the last chance to stop the war and return the captives during the Cairo discussions tomorrow,” the political leader told al-Joumhouria newspaper.

Hezbollah said it launched several rocket salvos at Israeli army positions in the annexed Golan Heights on Tuesday "in response" to Israeli strikes on eastern Lebanon the previous day.

Hezbollah fighters launched "intense rocket barrages" at two Israeli army positions in the occupied Golan Heights "in response to the Israeli enemy's attack on the Bekaa" Valley -- which a source close to Hezbollah said targeted weapons depots in the eastern region.

Israel struck Hezbollah weapons depots on Monday deep in Lebanon's east, a source close to the group told AFP, away from the southern border that has witnessed near-daily clashes between Hezbollah and Israel.

One Israeli soldier was killed Monday in a Hezbollah drone attack on the Ya’ra Barracks near the Lebanon-Israel border, the Israeli military said.

Hezbollah said it had launched exploding drones at two Israeli bases, including in the northern town of Nahariya, as tensions increase along the Lebanon-Israel border and U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken makes his ninth diplomatic mission to the Middle East to push for a cease-fire deal to end the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip.

Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea on Monday noted that the electricity crisis of the past two days proves that the management of the electricity sector has been a “total failure” for the past 15 years.

“There is not a single indication that this management will change, and accordingly only one solution remains: involving the private sector immediately in the process of producing electricity and distributing it across Lebanon,” Geagea said.

Hezbollah does not intend to expand its conflict with Israel and will give a chance to the ongoing negotiations over a Gaza ceasefire, a media report said.

Three United Nations peacekeepers suffered light injuries Sunday, the U.N. said, after a blast near their vehicle close to Lebanon's southern border, where Hezbollah and Israel have traded near-daily fire.

Hezbollah has exchanged cross-border fire with the Israeli army in support of ally Hamas since the Palestinian militant group's October 7 attack on Israel sparked the Gaza war.

Hezbollah said Monday two of its fighters were killed and claimed attacks on northern Israel, including with drones, the latest cross-border violence amid fears of full-blown war.

The powerful Iran-backed group has exchanged regular cross-border fire with the Israeli army in support of ally Hamas since the Palestinian militant group's October 7 attack on Israel sparked the Gaza war.

The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Israel Hayom on Sunday that reports of a Hezbollah drone collecting footage on Netanyahu's home in Caesarea on Friday were a "false alarm."

Sobbing relatives thronged Sheikh Ragheb Hospital Saturday after an Israeli air strike killed 10 Syrians, including two children, who had escaped war at home only to die in south Lebanon.

The early morning strike hit a building in the Wadi al-Kfour area of Nabatieh, killing the 10 including a mother and her two children, Lebanon's health ministry said.
