Hezbollah targeted Wednesday Israeli artillery positions in the occupied Golan Heights with dozens of Katyusha rockets, in response to an overnight strike on a village in al Bekaa.

The group said in a statement it has targeted artillery positions in al-Zaoura, as Israeli warplanes struck a house in the southern border town of Tayr Harfa.

An Israeli strike in Syria has killed a former bodyguard of the leader of the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah.

On Tuesday, an Israeli drone hit a car in Syria near the border with Lebanon, according to a war monitor and the Syrian pro-government radio Sham FM.

Israeli police said two people were killed by rocket fire in the annexed Golan Heights, the latest victims of months of cross-border clashes between Lebanon's Hezbollah and Israeli forces.

The deaths came after a Syria war monitor said an Israeli strike in the country killed two people, with a source close to Iran-backed Hezbollah saying a former bodyguard to the group's leader died in the raid, and the militant group announcing retaliatory fire.

A war monitor said two people were killed Tuesday in an Israeli strike on a vehicle belonging to Lebanon's Hezbollah group in the Damascus countryside near the Lebanese border.

Hezbollah has traded almost daily cross-border fire from Lebanon with the Israeli army since October in support of Palestinian ally Hamas, with Israel targeting operatives from the group in both Lebanon and neighboring Syria.

Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri on Tuesday met with caretaker Interior Minister Bassam Mawlawi and discussed with him the political developments and security situation.

“Our visit to Speaker Berri today was important and necessary,” Mawlawi said after the talks.

Hezbollah on Tuesday released a video dubbed al-Hodhod 2 showing footage captured by the group’s drones over the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.

Hezbollah had recently alarmed Israel by releasing a 10-minute video showing sensitive military and economic sites in northern Israel and its strategic city of Haifa -- a city far from the Israel-Lebanon border. That video was dubbed al-Hodhod 1.

Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea on Tuesday noted that the LF and the opposition are in “constant dialogue among each other.”

“This dialogue produced agreements over a first candidate and a second candidate. We are also in an open dialogue with the rest of the parliamentary blocs in an effort to elect a president in line with the constitutional texts,” Geagea said in a statement.

The opposition lawmakers on Tuesday announced two suggestions aimed at facilitating the election of a new president and ending the country’s long-running presidential vacuum.

Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri has underlined his refusal to invite MPs to a presidential dialogue boycotted by a significant number of lawmakers.

In remarks to Asharq al-Awsat newspaper, Berri added that he is seeking an “inclusive dialogue amid the extraordinary circumstances that Lebanon is going through,” noting that his call for dialogue is “not aimed at defeating or isolating a certain party.”

Israeli artillery shelled overnight al-Mahmoudiyeh in the Jezzine district, as civil defense members and firefighters worked to contain fires caused by Israeli strikes on Maroun al-Ras, Hanine, Aita al-Shaab, Shaqra and Rmeish.

Hezbollah announced Tuesday the death of one of its members from Shaqra "on the road to Jerusalem," and released later in the day a video dubbed al-Hodhod 2 showing footage captured by the group’s drones over the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
