Hezbollah claims attacks on Israeli soldiers in Lebanon
The Lebanese armed group said it fired a barrage of rockets and artillery shells at a group of Israeli soldiers in the southern Lebanese town of Khiam in the early hours of this morning.

Israeli military claims 150 Hamas, Hezbollah targets hit
The Israeli military claims its fighter aircraft attacked about 150 targets linked with Hamas in the Gaza Strip and Hezbollah in Lebanon in the past 24 hours, saying Hezbollah headquarters and rocket launchers were struck.
In Gaza, the Israeli army said it launched dozens of attacks in the northern and central parts of the besieged enclave. The attacks killed dozens of Palestinians, mostly civilians, Jabalia and Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza are seeing disastrous scenes of destruction.
The army on Wednesday said a Hezbollah unit fired a missile at an invading Israeli military jet over an area north of the ancient city of Tyre, and that the Israeli aircraft responded by destroying the site. It said its jet was not hit by the projectile. The military also said its ground invasion in southern Lebanon continues, “destroying terrorist infrastructures” and hitting antitank squads.
Videos, like the one below which has been authenticated by Al Jazeera’s Sanad agency, continue to come out, showing Israeli soldiers blowing up entire villages in southern Lebanon ostensibly for links with “terrorism”.
