In parallel with the U.N. Security Council resolution that called for a Gaza ceasefire and amid the latest U.S.-Israeli disagreements, U.S. circles have warned of “very alarming Israeli intentions” and of “dangerous plans to turn a part of Lebanon into uninhabited areas as happened in the Gaza Strip," a media report said.

“Washington is dealing with these reports seriously in order to prevent an execution of the Israeli threats, after it worked over the past six months to prevent Lebanon being turned into an all-out war arena,” the sources said, according to al-Akhbar newspaper.

Hezbollah’s media relations department on Wednesday denied as “false and tendentious” the reports that said that Hezbollah fighters had tried to fire rockets at Israel from the southern border town of Rmeish.

Hezbollah fired a barrage of rockets into northern Israel Wednesday killing a civilian, after Israel carried out a deadly strike in south Lebanon.

Israeli rescue teams searching a building that had been hit in the border town of Kiryat Shmona "found a 25 year old who was unconscious, with no pulse and not breathing", and pronounced him dead at the scene, the Magen David Adom emergency service said.

Hezbollah targeted Wednesday a command center in Kiryat Shmona in response to an overnight strike that killed seven rescuers in an emergency center in Habariyeh.

Speaking to AFP on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to speak to the media, a Jamaa Islamiya official said "seven rescuers" were killed in a strike on an emergency centre in Habariyeh near the Israeli border.

The United States has imposed sanctions on a money exchanger and a group of firms across six countries involved in commodity shipments and business transactions that benefit Iran's military and the Houthi militant group in Yemen and the Hezbollah militia in Lebanon.

The Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control sanctioned six firms, two tankers and a money exchanger, all either based or registered in Liberia, India, Vietnam, Lebanon or Kuwait. They are accused of materially benefiting Iran, the Houthis and Hezbollah.

The head of a Lebanese Sunni political and militant group that has joined the Shiite militant group Hezbollah in its fight against Israel on Lebanon's border said Tuesday that the conflict has helped strengthen cooperation between the two groups.

The Secretary-General of al-Jamaa al-Islamiya, or the Islamic Group, Sheikh Mohammed Takkoush said his faction decided to join the fighting along the Lebanon-Israel border because of Israel's crushing offensive on the Gaza Strip and its strikes against Lebanese towns and villages killing civilians, including journalists, since the Israel-Hamas war started on Oct.7.

Lebanon's National News Agency said fresh Israeli strikes on eastern Lebanon on Tuesday killed two people, after Hezbollah said it fired more than 50 rockets at the Golan Heights in response to an Israeli airstrike earlier in the day near the eastern city of Hermel.

The Israeli army said in two separate statements that it had struck Hezbollah targets "deep inside Lebanese territory."

An Israeli airstrike targeted Tuesday a small truck deep into Lebanese territory, in the country's east.

The Israeli airstrike on the Faara Valley near the Lebanese eastern city of Hermel came hours after Hezbollah targeted the Meron air base in northern Israel.

A clash erupted Tuesday between residents from the southern border town of Rmeish and a group belonging to Hezbollah that was readying to set up a multiple rocket launcher (MRL) within the town’s boundaries, residents said.

Caretaker Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib has said that his recent remarks about Lebanon’s readiness to engage in a war with Israel were a “gaffe or a mistake.”
