Hezbollah says it fired on Israeli positions
Beirut, Lebanon — AFP
Lebanon’s Iran-backed Hezbollah group said it shelled Israeli positions in a contested border area on Saturday, as tensions rise over Israel’s war with Hezbollah’s Palestinian ally Hamas.
Hezbollah and other Palestinian factions in Lebanon have exchanged cross-border fire with Israel since October 7.
Israel’s massive retaliatory air and artillery strikes on Gaza have killed more than 2,200 people in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip.
Hezbollah “attacked Zionist positions in the occupied Lebanese Shebaa Farms… with guided missiles and mortar shells, hitting them,” the group said in a statement.
Israel has traded fire with Hezbollah and allied Palestinian factions in Lebanon on a near-daily basis since last Sunday.
Lebanon’s army said earlier that Israel was behind cross-border fire that killed a Reuters journalist and wounded six others near the border the previous day.
On the other hand, Israeli forces said they killed several “terrorists” trying to cross the border from Lebanon.
