The powerful formation of Lebanon has intensified its attacks in recent days against Israel, which for its part is making deeper strikes and targeted attacks in Lebanon.
Hezbollah fighters fired “dozens of Katyusha rockets” at an Israeli town near the border, “in response to attacks by the enemy of Israel (…) and especially the assassination of Hanine,” the movement said in a statement.
The day before, a woman in her fifties and a 12-year-old girl from the same family were killed in an Israeli strike on a house in the town of Hanine on the Lebanese border, according to rescuers and official media.
Hezbollah had already announced on Tuesday evening that they had launched dozens of rockets on northern Israel in retaliation for the deaths of these civilians.
He also claimed responsibility for a drone attack against two Israeli military positions, north of the city of Acre, far beyond the border area that the movement usually hits.
Hezbollah, which is an ally of the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas, has been exchanging fire daily with Israel since the war in the Gaza Strip began on October 7.
This violence left 380 dead on the Lebanese side, most of them fighters from the Lebanese movement, as well as 72 civilians, according to an AFP count.
In northern Israel, eleven soldiers and eight civilians were killed, according to the army.
