Israeli army claims bombing of Hezbollah buildings in southern Lebanon
JERUSALEM (AA) — Israel has claimed to have bombed buildings used by Hezbollah in southern Lebanon and intercepted a airborne target heading towards Israel.
In a statement, the army said that on Saturday, “Air Force fighters bombed military buildings belonging to Hezbollah in the Hula region in southern Lebanon.”
“Israeli air defenses succeeded in intercepting a suspicious air target in the skies of Lebanon, which was on its way to Israel,” it added.
Earlier on Saturday, missile sirens sounded in the Manara area of northern Upper Galilee, the daily Yedioth Ahronoth reported.
In a statement, Hezbollah claimed its fighters “targeted a gathering of Israeli enemy soldiers near the Manara military site with artillery shells, achieving direct hits.”
Fears have grown of a full-fledged war between Israel and Hezbollah amid an exchange of cross-border attacks.
The escalation comes against the backdrop of Israel’s war on Gaza, which has killed over 38,800 people since last October.
