Hezbollah-Israel border clashes: Latest developments

Israeli warplanes raided overnight into Friday the outskirts of Tayrharfa, Yaroun, Zebqine, al-Naqoura and Wadi Hamoul in south Lebanon.

The Israeli army also shelled with flare and incendiary bombs villages along the border, including al-Naqoura and Alma al-Shaab.

Hezbollah for its part targeted the Bayyad Blida post overnight and Menara and Metula on Thursday evening.

Hezbollah has been exchanging near-daily cross-border fire with the Israeli army since the outbreak of the war in Gaza, which was triggered by Hamas’ surprise attack into Israel on Oct. 7.

More than 500 people have been killed in Lebanon by Israeli strikes since Oct. 8, most of them fighters with Hezbollah and other armed groups but also more than 100 civilians. In northern Israel, 23 soldiers and 26 civilians have been killed. Tens of thousands of people have been displaced on both sides of the tense border.
