On Friday, Hezbollah, the Lebanese militant group, stated that it had attacked two Israeli military locations near the southern Lebanese border.
According to Hezbollah, their forces struck a gathering of Israeli soldiers at the Hadab Yaron military site using precision weapons, resulting in a direct hit.
Moreover, they reported hitting technical equipment at the Ramia military site with a guided missile.
Earlier the same day, Hezbollah claimed that its air defense units fired missiles at Israeli warplanes that had entered Lebanese airspace over the southern region, causing the planes to retreat.
The Israeli army responded by targeting a Hezbollah military structure near Aita al-Shaab, although no further details were disclosed.
Concurrently, Israeli aircraft conducted a raid on the outskirts of Aita al-Shaab, targeting an unoccupied house, as reported by the Lebanese National News Agency.
The ongoing exchanges have heightened concerns about the potential for a full-scale war between Israel and Hezbollah.
This tension is unfolding against the backdrop of a severe Israeli military campaign in the Gaza Strip that has resulted in nearly 39,200 deaths since October 7 of the previous year, following an attack by the Palestinian group Hamas.
Earlier this week, Hezbollah announced it directly hit Israeli surveillance installations at two different locations. 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.
