Israeli strikes and shelling targeted on Tuesday afternoon several regions in south Lebanon including al-Qsaybeh, Shhour, Jabshit-Harouf, Mayfadoun-Shawkin, Dweir and Deir al-Zahrani, al-Kharayeb, al-Taybeh, Kfartebnit, Arnoun, Aita al-Shaab, and Ramia.

At least nine people were killed in strikes on the south Tuesday, including three Lebanese army soldiers.

Hezbollah for its part targeted Israeli soldiers in the southern border town of Maroun al-Ras with an attack drone, a gathering of soldiers in Mays al-Jabal and Merkava tanks in Markaba.

Clashes continued between Hezbollah and Israeli troops trying to enter Lebanese territories from several southern border towns including al-Khiam, as Israeli artillery shelled the village.

It later said it targeted Naharaya in north Israel with rockets.

On Monday, Hezbollah said it targeted Israeli troops in the town of Khiam with a rocket salvo.

The group published a video of several attacks carried out earlier this month on Israel.

Since March 2, Hezbollah has repeatedly announced targeting Israeli forces and vehicles inside Khiam, the first point into which Israeli forces advanced after the war began.

The only reason Israel is doing this is because Lebanon is firing over 1000 rockets into Israeli civilian areas.
