Hezbollah has announced that it targeted an Israeli troop gathering in Tel Sha’ar with rockets, claiming a direct hit.
Clashes between Hezbollah and Israel have intensified over recent months, coinciding with Israel’s ongoing military campaign in Gaza. This escalation represents the most severe conflict between the two sides since the 2006 war, raising concerns of a potential larger confrontation.
The cross-border violence since October has killed at least 549 people in Lebanon, mostly fighters but also including at least 116 civilians, according to an AFP tally.
On the Israeli side, including the annexed Golan Heights, 22 soldiers and 25 civilians have been killed, according to army figures.
