Hezbollah said Sunday that it fired dozens of Katyusha rockets at the Rawya barracks in the Israeli-annexed Golan Heights in response to attacks on Lebanese towns, especially on the town of Sarafand which is distant from the border.

The group also attacked two Israeli posts near Lebanon’s border with two suicide drones, saying one of them targeted troops and caused casualties.

On Saturday evening, the Israeli military said its air force had struck suspected Hezbollah weapons storage facilities at two locations in Lebanon's eastern Bekaa Valley, as well as in six locations in the South.

Three children were among four people wounded in an Israeli strike in the northern Bekaa's Hermel district, some 140 kilometers from the Israeli border, the Lebanese health ministry said.

A source close to Hezbollah said the strike targeted a farm in the area, a stronghold of the militant group.

A second strike on the village of Serine, near Baalbek, targeted "warehouses storing food products," the source added.

The cross-border violence since early October has killed 623 people in Lebanon, mostly fighters but also including at least 142 civilians, according to an AFP tally.

On the Israeli side, including in the annexed Golan Heights, authorities have announced the deaths of at least 24 soldiers and 26 civilians.
