Hezbollah targeted Thursday three military posts and a command center in northern Israel as Israeli artillery shelled several border towns in south Lebanon.

Hezbollah said in a statement that it had attacked the Jalil command center in Kiryat Shmona, the Branit post, soldiers in Metula, and the Radar post in the occupied Shebaa Farms. An officer and two soldiers were wounded in the Kiryat Shmona attack, the Israeli army radio said.

Former Lebanese ambassador to the U.N. Nawaf Salam, whose name was once floated as a potential PM candidate, has been elected as the head of the International Court of Justice for a three-year period.

Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati called Salam and congratulated him on the new post.

Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea has accused Hezbollah of seeking to “obtain the presidency and Lebanon’s government in return for withdrawing weapons from the border” with Israel.

A civilian was killed Wednesday in a drone airstrike on a house in the southern border town of al-Khiam. Two other civilians were injured, media reports said.

Israeli warplanes had earlier at dawn targeted al-Wazzani water pumps, after two airstrikes overnight on the southern border towns of Houla and Bani Hayyan.

Lebanese Forces chief Samir Geagea has long opposed electing a president through dialogue. "All possible dialogues have led to nowhere," Geagea told MTV on Monday night.

Geagea revealed that MPs from his party have been talking to Amal MPs but that all dialogues were "fruitless," accusing Hezbollah and its allies of clinging to their presidential candidate, Marada leader Suleiman Franjieh. "This won't be a real dialogue," he said.

Kataeb Party chief Sami Gemayel has accused Hezbollah of seeking to “legalize its weapons through a certain alignment and a loyal president.”

Armed forces retirees protested Tuesday their low salaries and blocked the Karantina road with burning tires.

"Our demand is to live in dignity," a protester said.

France’s new foreign minister Stéphane Séjourné arrived Tuesday in Lebanon and met with Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri.

Séjourné is scheduled to meet key Lebanese politicians in Beirut, after stops in Egypt on Saturday, Jordan on Sunday and Israel on Monday.

Hezbollah targeted Tuesday Israeli troops and positions including a command center in northern Israel as Israeli air strikes and artillery shelling targeted Lebanese border villages.

Hezbollah said it has targeted the Beit Hillel command center, inflicting casualties and groups of soldiers in the Jal al-Alam, al-Marj, and Ramim posts. The group had earlier targeted the Ramim post with Burkan missiles. It said all attacks were "direct hits."

Amal Movement is fighting "in front of Hezbollah" in south Lebanon, head of the movement and Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri said.

Amal has not announced any attack on Israel since the cross-border clashes began between Hezbollah and Israel on October, but its chief told al-Jadeed TV on Sunday that Amal is "resisting" in the south "within its military capabilities," which are far inferior to those of Hezbollah.
