The latest cross-border flames in more than seven decades of conflict was carried out on Monday by Lebanon’s Iran-backed Hezbollah organization, which claimed responsibility for a hit that Israel claimed injured four soldiers in the north of the nation.
Following the Arab group’s attack on southern Israel on October 7 that sparked a conflict in Gaza, Israel and Hamas ally Hezbollah have engaged in close to normal fire.
Hezbollah fighters fired” a guided weapon” at an Israeli Merkava container across the frontier on Monday night, destroying it” after carefully monitoring the enemy’s movements”, the team said in a statement.
The Israeli army said” two anti- tank missiles” crossed from Lebanon into the area of Yiftah, a kibbutz community less than two kilometers ( 1.2 miles ) from the border.
The missiles wounded four Zionist soldiers, the military said, one of them fairly and the rest softly.
Earlier Monday Hezbollah said it launched” a swarming of violent uavs” targeting houses and” sleep rooms” for an Israeli artillery regiment.
One helicopter that had crossed from Lebanon fell in a different place, according to the Israeli army, which claimed no casualties were caused by the attack.
At least 410 people have been killed in Lebanon in months of mix- border crime, mainly militants but likewise including 79 civilians, according to an AFP tally.
On its side of the border, Israel claims 14 warriors and 9 residents have been killed.
On both edges, tens of thousands of people have been displaced.
