Hezbollah announced it directly hit Israeli surveillance installations at two different locations. According to Hezbollah’s initial statement, the group targeted spy equipment at the radar site in Shebaa Farms at precisely 5:45 PM.
A subsequent statement mentioned another direct strike at 5:50 PM against surveillance gear at the Rahab site using appropriate weaponry.
In retaliation, Israeli airstrikes targeted multiple locations in Southern Lebanon. One such strike on a house in the town of Shehiin in the Western sector claimed a life and injured two members of the Syrian Social Nationalist Party.
Additional airstrikes by Israeli warplanes hit Aita al-Shaab in the central sector, along with another raid on the town of Al-Khiyam in Marjeyoun district, and a series of attacks in Yatar and the area between Haneen and Ain Ebel.
Earlier on Monday, Israeli warplanes breached the sound barrier over several Lebanese regions in the South, Sidon, Bshamoun, and Khalde near Beirut.
The exchange of fire between Hezbollah and the Israeli army has been ongoing since last October when Hezbollah launched rockets at Israel in support of Hamas amid its conflict with Israel in Gaza.
The Israeli military recently confirmed that it targeted a Hezbollah ammunition depot in southern Lebanon late Saturday night, following reports from Lebanese state media about an Israeli air raid on the depot.
Since the Hamas attack on Gaza border settlements on October 7, which sparked an Israeli war on Gaza, Hezbollah and Israeli forces have been exchanging almost daily fire.
The Israeli military stated overnight, “fighter jets struck two weapon storage facilities in southern Lebanon containing rocket shells and other means,” according to AFP.
