Hezbollah’s chief spokesman said Tuesday the group was behind the weekend drone attack that targeted Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s house without inflicting casualties.

Mohammed Afif told reporters in Beirut Tuesday that if in the previous attack Netanyahu was not hurt, “the coming days and nights and the (battle) fields are between us.” Afif was hinting that Hezbollah might carry out such attempts in the future.

U.S. mediator Amos Hochstein presented to Lebanese officials a paper demanding the expansion of the 1701 zone to at least two kilometers north of the Litani River and a large increase in the numbers of UNIFIL peacekeepers and Lebanese troops, Arab diplomatic sources said.

An Associated Press team was among journalists taken on a tour inside a hospital in Beirut’s southern suburb where the Israeli army claimed without offering evidence that Hezbollah was storing hundreds of millions of dollars in cash and gold in tunnels underneath.

The Sahel General Hospital had already been emptied of most patients and staff following intense bombardment of the area in recent days, and the few remaining ones were hastily evacuated late Monday after the Israeli claim.

An Israeli strike hit Beirut's southern suburbs Tuesday just minutes after a Hezbollah official cut short a news conference in the area, an AFP video journalist said.

Journalists hastily left the press conference held by Hezbollah spokesperson Mohammed Afif after the Israeli military warned people near two buildings in the Ghobeiri area to evacuate. The official National News Agency said Israeli aircraft then carried out a strike in the area.

Three paramedics were wounded on Tuesday in a strike on south Lebanon while on a rescue mission coordinated with U.N. peacekeepers, the Lebanese Red Cross said.

Four ambulance teams were dispatched to the southern city of Nabatiyeh in coordination with UNIFIL following a strike there, the Lebanese Red Cross said, adding that "the site was bombed again and three...volunteers were injured and are being transported to hospital".

More than 1,550 people have been killed in bombardment by Israel since it intensified its air campaign on Lebanon last month.

Lebanon's health ministry reported 63 killed in "Israeli enemy strikes on Lebanon" Monday, raising the death toll from an Israeli strike near a south Beirut hospital to 18. The real toll is likely to be higher due to data gaps.

Hezbollah launched a barrage of rockets into central Israel on Tuesday, setting off air raid sirens in the country’s most populated areas, a few hours before U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken arrived in the region on a mission to restart stalled Gaza ceasefire talks.

The Israeli military said five projectiles were fired from Lebanon into Israel and said most were intercepted by Israel’s missile defense system.

Lebanon’s state news agency said another Israeli airstrike has targeted the country’s main border crossing with Syria, leaving a second large crater on the highway running through it.

The National News Agency reported that the early Tuesday airstrike was closer to the Syrian side of the crossing, known as Jdeidet Yabous. Syrian TV also reported an airstrike in the border area.

A hospital director in Lebanon has denied accusations by the Israeli army that Hezbollah is storing money and gold under the hospital.

Fadi Alameh, a member of parliament who is also the director of Sahel General Hospital, denied there are tunnels under the hospital and said that the medical center south of Beirut is now being evacuated.

Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri said Monday that the atomsphere of his meeting with U.S. mediator Amos Hochstein was "good and positive more than he was expecting," MTV reported.
