Hezbollah attacks Israeli posts with suicide drones, Burkan rockets

Hezbollah carried out Friday an aerial attack with suicide drones on Iron Dome launchpads in al-Za'oura in the occupied Golan Heights, in response to Israeli strikes on the southern border town of Houla.

The group also fired Friday "heavy-caliber Burkan rockets" at Israeli posts in northern Israel as Israeli artillery shelled the southern border town of al-Wazzani.

Hezbollah announced Thursday night the death of two of its fighters from Houla after it was struck by Israeli warplanes.

The Israeli army said it had targeted Hezbollah members inside two buildings in Houla and Maroun al-Rass.

Hezbollah said Friday the attacks on the Biranit command center and the al-Baghdadi post, and a later rocket attack on Shomera were in response to Israeli attacks on homes in Maroun al-Ras and Aitaroun.

Hezbollah later attacked the Israeli post of Ma'ayan Baruch with rockets and artillery shells.

The group said it had attacked on Thursday night Ramot Naftali in northern Israel, in response to Israeli attacks on southern villages.

Lebanon's Hezbollah, a Hamas ally, has traded near-daily cross-border fire with Israel since the Palestinian group's October 7 attack on southern Israel triggered war in Gaza.

In Lebanon, the cross-border violence has killed at least 443 people, mostly militants but also including 86 civilians, according to an AFP tally.

Israel says 14 soldiers and 11 civilians have been killed on the other side of the border.
