The Lebanese-Israeli border has been witnessing daily intermittent mutual bombardment since the Al-Aqsa flood (French)
Today, Wednesday, mutual shelling between the Israeli occupation army and the Lebanese Hezbollah continued, as the latter targeted a gathering of Israeli soldiers at the site of Al-Malikiyah in the Upper Galilee region in northern Israel, while Israeli warplanes raided targets that Israel said belonged to the party inside Lebanese territory.
Hezbollah said it targeted Israeli soldiers at the Malikiyah position with mortars and was able to "achieve direct hits" after sirens were heard in the area.
He also pointed out that it bombarded with "Barkan" rockets a gathering of the occupation soldiers in the vicinity of the Zarit barracks, and shelled the Mitat and Yiftah barracks and the Israeli Ramia and Blida sites, causing direct hits.
Al-Jazeera correspondent reported that sirens were heard in several areas of the Upper Galilee on the border with Lebanon, and that the Israeli authorities closed a main street at the border and asked residents to stay in safe places.
Israeli raids
In contrast, the Israeli army announced that its warplanes had struck Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, and that its artillery had bombed the Wadi Hamoul area in the western sector of southern Lebanon.
Al-Jazeera correspondent also reported that Israeli fighter jets launched two raids on the vicinity of the town of Yatar and on the Labouneh area in the western sector of southern Lebanon.
It is noteworthy that 9 people were killed on Tuesday - including two journalists and a member of Hezbollah - as a result of Israeli shelling on southern Lebanon, while the party said it bombed a base, a military factory and an Israeli intelligence force.
Since the start of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip on the seventh of last October, following the Al-Aqsa flood operation, the Israeli army has exchanged sporadic shelling on a daily basis with Hezbollah and Palestinian factions in Lebanon, leaving dead and wounded on both sides.
