Hezbollah says fighters killed, injured Israeli soldiers in attack

BEIRUT (AA) - Hezbollah said Thursday it targeted locations and gatherings of soldiers in northern Israel that resulted in several casualties.

The Lebanese resistance group said in separate statements that fighters "targeted two buildings used by Israeli enemy soldiers in the Misgav Am settlement with appropriate weapons and hit them directly.”

It said it "targeted a gathering of Israeli enemy soldiers around the Zar’it barracks with a heavy Volcano rocket."

The group indicated that it "targeted two buildings used by enemy soldiers in the Shtula settlement with guided missiles and hit them directly, causing fires and resulting in casualties among those inside.”

It noted that the attack came “in response to the enemy's attacks on the steadfast southern villages and safe homes, particularly in the towns of Jebbayn and Ramyeh.”

Lebanon’s National News Agency reported earlier that the Israeli army targeted a house in the border town of Ramyeh with a guided missile, and targeted the outskirts of the town of Jebbayn with an airstrike.

Fears have grown about a full-blown war between Israel and Hezbollah amid an exchange of cross-border attacks between the two sides.

The escalation comes against the backdrop of a deadly Israeli onslaught on the Gaza Strip, which has killed more than 38,300 victims since October, following an attack by the Palestinian resistance group, Hamas.
