The exchange of fire between Hezbollah and Israel continued on Monday afternoon at Lebanon’s southern border.
In the early evening, the public garden of Maroun al-Ras was targeted by a guided missile.
Israeli bombardments also targeted Bourj el-Moulouk, Aita al-Shaab, Kfarchouba, Chebaa, Naqoura, and Chihine. Phosphorus shells fired at a forested area in Kounine caused a fire.
In addition, the Israeli army announced that it had detected shells fired from Lebanon towards the Shebaa, Metoula, and Ramim farms in the Upper Galilee without causing any injuries.
It also claimed responsibility for an attack on a launch pad used by Hezbollah in the Wardiyeh region.
On Monday morning, an Israeli drone fired a missile against the locality of Burj al-Malouk, causing fires in the olive groves.
A Merkava tank fired four shells at Aita al-Shaab and the periphery of Kfarchouba with five direct hits. A raid was also carried out on the town of Chihine in the western sector.
At dawn, Hezbollah and Israel exchanged fire, with more than 30 rockets fired from Lebanon hitting the colony of Nahariya, “of which some were intercepted” according to Israeli media. “This caused fires in different areas of western Galilee without, however, any casualties,” they added.
According to Israeli channel 14, “dozens of explosions were heard from Nahariya to the region of Krayot.”
Furthermore, the Israeli army fired heavy machine guns towards the forests adjacent to the towns of Ramya, Aita al-Shaab and Naqoura, while flares lit up the skies over the southern regions up to the outskirts of Tyre.
For its part, Hezbollah claimed to have “completely destroyed the Israeli site’s espionage equipment” in Metula.
In another statement, the group claimed it had targeted the new headquarters of the command of the 146th division in Jaatun “in retaliation for Sunday evening’s strike on Maaroub,” which injured 12 people.
On Sunday evening, the Public Health Emergency Operations Center reported an initial count of 12 people injured in an Israeli raid on Maaroub.
