Israeli and Hezbollah forces have been exchanging fire on the border since October 8, the day after the Israel/Hamas war broke out.
Yesterday, Wednesday (27/12) the armed wing of the Shiite movement fired rockets at the border town of Kiryat Shimona, causing damage to buildings, with no injuries reported. Earlier, three people – a Hezbollah fighter and two members of his family – were killed in an Israeli airstrike.
After the war broke out in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli authorities moved thousands of residents of northern Israel to other areas of the country, for security reasons.
The conflicts on the borders of the two states are characterized as the most serious since the so-called Second Lebanon War (2006).
They are limited to the border area, but Israel has also struck deeper, up to 20 kilometers, recently.
They have killed nearly 160 people on the Lebanese side of the border, mostly Hezbollah fighters, but also civilians, including journalists. On the Israeli side, there is talk of 13 dead, including 9 military personnel.
