BEIRUT (AA) – Lebanese group Hezbollah exchanged fire with Israeli forces on Tuesday amid rising tensions along the border between Lebanon and Israel.

Hezbollah said it targeted a gathering of Israeli soldiers in the Hadb Yarin post with missiles, resulting in “direct hits.”

Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reported that Israeli forces shelled the border towns of Labbouneh and Aita al-Shaab.

There were no reports of casualties.

Tension has flared along the border between Lebanon and Israel amid intermittent exchange of fire between Israeli forces and Hezbollah, in the deadliest clashes since the two sides fought a full-scale war in 2006.

The border tension comes amid an Israeli military offensive in the Gaza Strip following a cross-border attack by Hamas on Oct. 7.
