Israel-Hezbollah border clashes: Latest developments
Hezbollah carried out Monday several attacks on Israeli positions while Israel bombed several border towns in south Lebanon.
Hezbollah said it targeted a group of soldiers on the al-Tayhat hill With missiles and artillery shells, a "newly created" command center in Liman, the Bayyad Blida post, and the Zebdine post in the occupied Shebaa Farms.
The Israeli army for its part carried out an airstrike on the southern border town of Mays al-Jabal while artillery shells hit the town of Blida and the outskirts of Tayr Harfa. Israeli warplanes had also struck overnight a villa in Mays al-Jabal. The Israeli army claimed they had targeted "Hezbollah fighters inside a military building."
Hezbollah had carried out on Sunday eight attacks on northern Israel, the occupied Golan Heights and the occupied Shebaa Farms, including 60 rockets at two Israeli military positions in the Golan Heights, in response to Israeli strikes on the Bekaa.
The strike Sunday overnight at al-Osseira in Baalbek, about 100 kilometers from the Israel-Lebanon border, ended a period of relative calm that had lasted around 10 days. It was followed by a strike on a car in Suwairi, near the Syrian border, that killed a Syrian driver.
