Israel-Hezbollah border clashes: Latest developments

Israeli drones raided Wednesday Kfakila while artillery shelled Kfarshouba, Houla, and the outskirts of Kfar Hamam, and warplanes broke the sound barrier over Nabatieh and Iqlim al-Toffah.

Israeli jets had raided late Tuesday the southern town of Shihine, targeting the Amal-affiliated Islamic Risala Scout Association. No casualties were reported.

Warplanes launched incendiary balloons overnight over south Lebanon, the National News Agency said.

Hezbollah had carried out attacks with drones and rockets on two military posts in northern Israel Tuesday after an Israeli drone strike killed a member of the group’s elite force in the southern village of Shaqra.

Since early October, Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon have killed more than 450 people, mostly Hezbollah members, but also around 90 civilians and noncombatants. On the Israeli side, 21 soldiers and 13 civilians have been killed.
