ISTANBUL

The Lebanese Hezbollah and the Israeli army continued to exchange fire across Lebanese-Israeli border areas.

The Lebanese group said its fighters attacked a deployment of Israeli soldiers in the vicinity of the Al-Dhayra post "with missile weapons, and achieved direct hit.”

The Israeli army did not comment on that statement but the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper reported that three rockets were fired from southern Lebanon that landed in open areas near the Arab al-Aramshe community, in the northern Galilee area.

The army also said its warplanes attacked what it called a Hezbollah military building in the southern Lebanese town of Alma Al Shaab.

It added that warplanes also targeted rocket launching sites in Kfar Shuba.

Other Israeli artillery shelling was reported across southern Lebanese areas, according to the Lebanese official news agency.

Tension has flared along the border between Lebanon and Israel amid intermittent exchange of fire between Israeli forces and Hezbollah, in the deadliest clashes since the two sides fought a full-scale war in 2006.

The border tension comes amid an Israeli military offensive in the Gaza Strip following a cross-border attack by the Palestine resistance group, Hamas, on Oct. 7.
