The Lebanese Shiite movement Hezbollah said it had struck 10 Israeli army positions over the past 24 hours. On Thursday evening, the movement said it had fired dozens of rockets towards the northern Israeli town of Kiryat Shmona in response to Israeli shelling of settlements in southern Lebanon.
Hezbollah said in a statement that rockets and other weapons were used in the attacks on Israeli border positions.
On Wednesday, Lebanese media reported that 12 people, including women and children, were killed as a result of Israeli strikes on a number of settlements in southern Lebanon.
The situation in southern Lebanon worsened after Israel began military operations in the Gaza Strip in October 2023. The Israeli army and Hezbollah fire daily at each other’s positions in areas along the border. According to the Lebanese Foreign Ministry, about 100 thousand people were forced to leave their homes in southern Lebanon due to Israeli shelling. The Israeli side reported about 80 thousand residents of northern Israel who found themselves in a similar situation.
