The Israel National Cyber Directorate accused on Monday Iran and Hezbollah of a cyber attack last month against Ziv Medical Center in the northern Israeli city of Safed.

The hack was partially successful, the INCD said.

Army Commander General Joseph Aoun hosted Marada Movement chief Suleiman Franjieh over dinner on Thursday evening, media reports said.

An Israeli strike hit a building opposite a Hezbollah fighter's funeral procession in southern Lebanon on Monday without causing casualties, official media reported.

The frontier between Lebanon and Israel has seen regular exchanges of fire, mainly between the Israeli army and Hamas ally Hezbollah, since the conflict in the Gaza Strip began on October 7.

A new round of cross-border clashes erupted Sunday between the Israeli army and Hezbollah.

In separate statements, Hezbollah said it attacked the Birkat Risha and Hanita Israeli posts inflicting “certain casualties.”

Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen said on Sunday that France could play a key role in preventing a war in Lebanon as cross-border skirmishes with Hezbollah continue to raise tensions.

"France could play a positive and significant role to prevent a war in Lebanon," Cohen said at a joint media briefing with visiting French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna.

An Israeli drone on Saturday bombed a deserted room in a residential neighborhood in the Nabatieh district town of Houmine al-Tahta, which lies around 40 kilometers away from the nearest border point, in a significant escalation of hostilities, the National News Agency said.

The strike did not cause any casualties according to the town's mayor.

Hezbollah said Saturday that it mounted two morning attacks on the Birkat Risha Israeli post near the border, inflicting deaths and injuries.

Media reports said four Israeli soldiers were wounded in the attacks, one of them critically.

Israel's military has repeatedly attacked the Lebanese Army near the border over the past two months, prompting alarm in the Biden administration and sharp rebukes from top U.S. officials to Israeli leadership, CNN has reported.

"The Israelis have struck Lebanese Armed Forces positions more than 34 times since October 7, including with small arms and artillery fire, drones and helicopters," according to U.S. officials, a regional security source, and a list of the incidents compiled by the U.S. and reviewed by CNN.

German airline group Lufthansa resumed its flights to and from Beirut on Friday after they were suspended on October 13 as tensions on Lebanon's border with Israel soared and the war in Gaza raged.

Lufthansa's subsidiaries SWISS and Eurowings also resumed their flights, the group said.

Diplomacy is the best way to deal with the threat Hezbollah poses to Israel from its northern border with Lebanon, U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan told reporters in Tel Aviv on Friday.

“We also believe that the threat can be dealt with through diplomacy and does not require the launching of a new war,” Sullivan said.
