An uneasy calm settled over the south on Thursday morning after a day of heavy exchanges of fire.

At a funeral procession in Bint Jbeil on Wednesday, Hezbollah lawmaker Hassan Fadlallah told the ceremony that "no crime against civilians will pass without the enemy paying the price".

Hezbollah waged Wednesday a combined drone, rocket and artillery attack on Israeli forces and vehicles in the occupied Shebaa Farms, attacked an Israeli force in Dhaira and targeted the Hadb al-Bustan post and Kherbet Ma'ar with Burkan rockets.

The group also attacked a "new command center" near the Israeli naval base in Ras al-Naqoura as the Israeli army said it has intercepted eight out of 18 missiles launched from Lebanon towards the Western Galilee.

Hezbollah carried out Tuesday more than eight attacks on Israeli posts, including an attack with Burkan rockets on the Israeli Zebdine post in the occupied Shebaa farms.

Israel's army for its part shelled and fired heavy machinegun bursts towards the Zebdine Farm and its artillery shelled several border towns including Jabal Blat, Blida, Mhaibib, Mays al-Jabal, al-Khiam, Bestra, al-Naqoura, al-Khraybeh and al-Majidiyah.

Hezbollah has condemned an Israeli strike that left a senior general with Iran's Revolutionary Guards and three more fighters dead near the Syrian capital.

"We consider this assassination a blatant and shameless assault and a crossing of limits,” Hezbollah said in a statement.

Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant has held a situation assessment in the Israeli army’s Northern Command, where he was briefed on operational activities conducted along the border with Lebanon.

Hezbollah on Monday announced waging two attacks on Israeli posts in northern Israel as Israeli shelling and airstrikes targeted several Lebanese southern border towns.

In a statement, Hezbollah said it attacked Israeli troops near the Mattat barracks with the “appropriate weapons.”

Israel carried out several airstrikes on southern Lebanese border towns on Sunday, as Hezbollah announced a fresh attack on Israeli posts.

Hezbollah’s al-Manar televisions said an Israeli warplane fired three missiles at a house in Rab Tlatine as an Israeli drone bombed a school in al-Taybeh.

Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi on Sunday condemned “the genocidal and brutal war that is ongoing in Gaza,” while rejecting “its spread to the southern villages” in Lebanon.

“Lebanon is not a land of war but rather a land of dialogue and peace,” al-Rahi said in his Sunday Mass sermon.

The head of Hezbollah’s executive council, Sayyed Hashem Safieddine, has stressed that his party is “not the resistance that awaits the Americans and Israelis to decide its fate.”

“We are the ones who decide the fate of the South, the border and the future of this country at the level of confronting the enemy, whom we will not allow to attack Gaza undeterred,” Safieddine said.

Israeli artillery shelling targeted several Lebanese border areas on Saturday, as an Israeli airstrike wounded a cameraman from Hezbollah’s Al-Manar television.

State-run National News Agency said artillery shelling hit the Ain al-Zarqa area between the border towns of Tayr Harfa and Alma al-Shaab. Violent artillery shelling also targeted the outskirts of the border town of Deir Mimas and the Khardali Valley area.
