Hezbollah attacks Meron air base in response to Bekaa strikes

Two people were killed overnight in a strike on a house in the southern border town of Mays al Jabal, the National News Agency said, as Hezbollah announced the death of one of its members "on the road to Jerusalem."

On Tuesday, Israeli warplanes and artillery bombed Kfarkela, al Khiam, al-Naqoura, Aita al-Shaab, Maroun al-Ras, Aitaroun, al-Jebbayn, Yarin and a civil defense center in Tayr Harfa.

Three paramedics were lightly wounded in the strike, the Amal Movement-affiliated Islamic Risala Scout Association said, adding that the attack caused material damage to its building and ambulances.

Hezbollah meanwhile targeted the Shumira and the Shlomi posts in northern Israel, and two buildings in the Avivim settlement. The group also targeted groups of soldiers in the Biranit post and two infantry forces in Shtula and Hanita.

Later on Tuesday, Hezbollah said it targeted the Meron air base in northern Israel in response to Israeli strikes on the Bekaa and Baalbek over the weekend.
