ISTANBUL (AA) – Israeli fighter jets bombed sites in the village of Ayta ash Shab and the town of Meiss El Jabal in southern Lebanon on Sunday.
Warplanes renewed their raids on Ayta ash Shab, according to Lebanon’s National News Agency.
An airstrike destroyed a house in the town of Meiss El Jabal in Marjayoun district without causing any injuries, according to the agency.
The Electricity of Lebanon company announced that the Israeli army targeted Marjayoun’s power station with artillery shells on Saturday, "which caused severe damage to transformers, cells and high-voltage networks, rendering them out of service."
It added that it is assessing the technical and engineering condition of the station to take appropriate measures.
Fears have grown of a full-fledged war between Israel and the Lebanese resistance group Hezbollah following an exchange of cross-border attacks.
The escalation comes against the backdrop of a deadly Israeli onslaught on Gaza, which has killed nearly 38,600 people since last October, following an attack by the Palestinian resistance group Hamas.
