The Israeli army said its warplanes had struck Hezbollah targets in response to an earlier attack from Lebanese territory, and was accompanying the air strikes with artillery and tank shelling

Lebanon’s Hezbollah said it carried out simultaneous attacks on Israeli positions at the Lebanese border on Saturday, as residents of south Lebanon reported some of the fiercest Israeli strikes yet during weeks of cross-border clashes.A Lebanese source familiar with Hezbollah’s attacks said the group had fired a powerful missile not yet used in the fighting, saying it had hit an Israeli position across the border from the villages of Ayta al-Shaab and Rmeich.

It marks the worst fighting at the frontier since a 2006 war, but has mostly been contained to the border area. Two thick columns of smoke were seen rising over hills near the Lebanese town of Khiyam‮ ‬in video shared with Reuters by Khiyam resident Soheil Salami, who said the area had been hit by an Israeli air strike.
