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.

A Lebanese sailor is thanking his lucky stars for being rescued unharmed from the dark waters of the east Mediterranean early Sunday, nearly five hours after falling 18 meters (60 feet) off a commercial ship.

Cypriot authorities say 24-year-old Lebanese national needed no medical attention after the Panamanian-flagged vehicles carrier NIVIN plucked him from the sea.

Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati told British Foreign Minister David Lammy in a call there was a "need to pressure the Israeli enemy to stop its direct targeting of southern towns and villages," after an Israeli airstrike on the Nabatieh region killed 10 Syrian civilians and wounded many others.

"The current cycle of violence may lead to an escalation with dire consequences," Mikati told Lammy, according to a statement shared by his office.
