Lebanon’s health ministry said in the early hours of the morning that fresh Israeli shelling killed at least one person and wounded nineteen others in the south of the country, hours after four others were killed Tuesday in Israeli strikes, while Hezbollah said it had fired rockets. and drones against Israeli military positions on the border.

According to the ministry, the new bombings were launched around midnight (local and Greek time) in the Bekaa Valley, the day after a similar attack in the same area targeting, according to the Israeli military, “weapons depots of Hezbollah”, a Lebanese Shiite movement nearby in Iran and an ally of the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas.

Lebanese authorities did not specify whether the dead and wounded were civilians or fighters.

Earlier yesterday, Hezbollah announced the death of four members of its military arm in Israeli shelling in the village of Dayra, in southern Lebanon.

Hezbollah then claimed responsibility for firing Katyusha rockets at Israeli military positions in retaliation for the bombings in Dayra. It also announced that it launched barrages of rockets and drones against positions of the Israeli armed forces in the occupied and Israeli-annexed Golan Heights, in “retaliation” for the previous strikes in eastern Lebanon.

The Israeli military said it had recorded the launch of 115 missiles from Lebanon against northern Israel and the occupied Syrian Golan Heights.

“Some missiles were intercepted and others landed in uninhabited areas,” he added. No injuries were reported, but fires broke out in places, according to the same source.

The Israeli military also announced that its aircraft hit rocket launchers and various “military” building facilities of “Hezbollah” in southern Lebanon.

Since the day after the outbreak of war in the Gaza Strip on October 7, hostilities between the Lebanese Hezbollah and the Israeli armed forces have been practically daily.

The hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah have killed at least 590 people in Lebanon, most of them fighters of the Islamist movement, but also at least 128 civilians, including journalists, according to an AFP count.

In Israel and the occupied Golan Heights, 23 soldiers and 26 civilians have been killed in the same period, according to the figures of the Israeli authorities.

Concerns that a full-scale armed conflict is imminent have escalated after an Israeli bombardment that killed a top official of Hezbollah’s military wing in late July in a southern suburb of Beirut and the assassination the next day of the leader of Hamas in Tehran, which was blamed on Iran attacked Israel. Both the leadership of the Islamic Republic and that of Hezbollah vowed revenge for these deaths.
