Violence spikes as Hezbollah, Israeli army trade fire on border areas

Violence continued at the Lebanese-Israeli border after new Israeli airstrikes
killed two people in southern Lebanon, Lebanese security sources and the Health Ministry said on Wednesday.

These happened hours after at least 20 were injured in a separate attack.

Israeli strikes hit two areas early on Wednesday, one in Beit Leif and another in al-wazzani.

One person was killed in each location, the ministry said.

The Israeli military said it hit a car in Beit Leif near the Israeli border.

It said the target was a “Hezbollah terrorist.’’

In response to the attack in Beit Leif, the pro-Iranian militia Hezbollah claimed to have sent “a suicide drone’’ into northern Israel.

The movement also claimed several attacks on Israeli targets, including one in the Golan Heights.

According to Israeli emergency services, a man was injured by shrapnel when a rocket hit his home in Katzrin in the Golan.

Israeli media reported heavy damage in the town and near a military base which was targeted by Hezbollah in the Golan.

Overnight, one person was killed in an Israeli airstrike on eastern Lebanon.

At least 20 people were also injured, among them children, in the strikes that targeted Nabi Sheet near the ancient town of
Baalbeck in the north-east of the country, the Health Ministry said.

Hezbollah said that the dead man was one of its members.

Nabi Sheet was known to be a stronghold of the movement.

Since the war in the Gaza Strip began in October, there have been daily military confrontations between the Israeli army
and the Hezbollah militia in Lebanon.

There were other groups in the border area between the countries.

There were deaths on both sides most of them members of Hezbollah.
