Three people, including two Hezbollah fighters, were killed in Israeli strikes targeting several towns in southern Lebanon overnight, the Shiite party and the National News Agency ANI reported.
The border between Lebanon and Israel has been the scene of almost daily exchanges of fire since the start of the war between Hamas and Israel in the Gaza Strip more than six months ago.
Since the beginning of the week Hezbollah has intensified its attacks while the war in Gaza continues unabated.
In two separate statements, the pro-Iranian Shiite movement announced the death of two of its fighters from Kafr Qila and Khyam in Israeli strikes, without specifying the location.
The National News Agency, for its part, reported that “Israeli warplanes carried out two raids today (Saturday) in the early hours of the morning in the cities of Kfar Shuba and Shebaa, which resulted in “the death of citizen Qasim Asad” in Kfar Shuba.
In the last few hours, several cities in southern Lebanon received Israeli strikes which, according to Ani, caused material damage.
Hezbollah said in a statement today that it had targeted “new positions of enemy soldiers” west of Sumira in northern Israel, following targeting two military sites the previous day with dozens of Katyusha rockets in response to an Israeli strike.
Jamaa Islamiyya, a Lebanese Islamist group close to the Palestinian Hamas, said yesterday that two of its operatives were killed in this Israeli strike in eastern Lebanon.
The Israeli military confirmed that its air force “struck and neutralized Mosab Khalaf in Lebanon’s Maidun region, a high-ranking terrorist of the terrorist organization Jama’ah Islamiyah who had prepared a large number of terrorist attacks once morest Israel.”
