BEIRUT/JERUSALEM (AA) – Lebanese group Hezbollah said Tuesday that it had struck the Israeli outpost of Al-Malkieh near the border with southern Lebanon.
A statement by the group said that the attack on the military site had resulted in “a direct hit.”
The Israeli army, for its part, said it responded with artillery shelling to the source of fire from Lebanon.
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.
