Security sources claim that since a soldier in Israel was killed by Hezbollah rocket fire, at least seven civilians have died as a result of Israeli operations in Lebanon.
In Souaneh, a woman and two children perished, and subsequently, in Nabatieh, at least four family members perished.
According to the group, assaults in southern Lebanon also claimed the lives of at least two Hezbollah fighters.
The Israeli military said that it attacked Hezbollah infrastructure in retaliation for a lethal rocket assault on the country’s north.
Since the beginning of the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian organization Hamas in the Gaza Strip in October, Hezbollah fighters and Israeli soldiers have engaged in gunfire along the border nearly every day.
Fears of a larger regional battle have increased as a result of the conflicts.
The border towns of Netua and Manara, as well as the town of Safed, which is located 14 km (9 miles) south of the border, were the targets of rocket barrages fired on Wednesday morning, which caused sirens to sound throughout northern Israel.
Israeli media and emergency services reported that after rockets struck their base in Safed, one Israeli soldier was killed and seven others were injured.
Staff-Sergeant Omer Sarah Benjo was later identified as the fallen soldier. Another rocket touched down close to Safed’s hospital’s gate, according to a video.
Hezbollah subsequently declared that it had struck a “enemy position” near Safed “to defend the people and resistance of Gaza, which is being brutally attacked by Zionist aggression with US approval.
“The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) declared in the afternoon that in reaction to the rocket firing, fighter jets had “struck a series of Hezbollah terror targets” in Souaneh, Aadchit, Jabal al-Braij, Kfar Houneh, and Kfar Dunin.
It stated, “Among the targets struck were military compounds, operational control rooms, and terror infrastructure,” and added that the Radwan Force, an elite section of Hezbollah whose well-trained soldiers are regarded as the party’s special forces, was responsible for attacking multiple facilities.
