Israel-Hezbollah border clashes: Latest developments
Hezbollah targeted Wednesday a group of Israeli soldiers on the hill of al-Tayhat and surveillance equipment in the Hanita post, as Israel shelled the outskirts of Tayr Harfa, Dhaira, Alma al-Shaab, and Majdalzoun.
Israeli warplanes also carried out airstrikes on several locations in southern Lebanon, including Haddatha, Rshef and al-Tiri.
Hezbollah had claimed responsibility Tuesday for five attacks on Israeli army positions near the border while the Israeli army bombed several southern border towns in Lebanon.
Since the outbreak of war between Hamas and Israel on October 7, the Lebanese-Israeli border has seen near-daily exchanges of fire between the Israeli army and Hezbollah.
More than 200 people, most of them Hezbollah members, have been killed in south Lebanon by Israeli fire since October 7, according to an AFP tally.
On the Israeli side of the border, nine soldiers and six civilians have been killed, according to Israeli officials.
