Security sources claim that since a soldier in Israel was killed by Hezbollah rocket fire, at least seven civilians have died as a result of Israeli operations in Lebanon.
In Souaneh, a woman and two children perished, and subsequently, in Nabatieh, at least four family members perished.
According to the group, assaults in southern Lebanon also claimed the lives of at least two Hezbollah fighters.
The Israeli military said that it attacked Hezbollah infrastructure in retaliation for a lethal rocket assault on the country’s north.
Since the beginning of the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian organization Hamas in the Gaza Strip in October, Hezbollah fighters and Israeli soldiers have engaged in gunfire along the border nearly every day. Fears of a larger regional battle have increased as a result of the conflicts.
The border towns of Netua and Manara, as well as the town of Safed, which is located 14 km (9 miles) south of the border, were the targets of rocket barrages fired on Wednesday morning, which caused sirens to sound throughout northern Israel.
Israeli media and emergency services reported that after rockets struck their base in Safed, one Israeli soldier was killed and seven others were injured. Staff-Sergeant Omer Sarah Benjo was later identified as the fallen soldier.
Another missile was seen on camera landing close to Safed’s hospital’s gate.
Afterwards, Hezbollah declared that it had struck a “enemy position” near Safed “in support of the people and resistance of Gaza which is being subjected to brutal Zionist aggression with a green light from the US.”
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) declared in the afternoon that in reaction to the rocket firing, fighter jets had “struck a series of Hezbollah terror targets” in Souaneh, Aadchit, Jabal al-Braij, Kfar Houneh, and Kfar Dunin.
The Syrian mother Rawaa al-Mohammed and her two kids, Hassan Mohsen, 13, and Amir Mohsen, 2, were killed in an attack on a house in Souaneh, according to the state-run National News Agency (NNA) of Lebanon.
Residents could be seen examining the burned-out wreckage of an automobile and the debris of at least one demolished building in town on video.
Additionally, according to NNA, ten additional people were hurt and one guy died in Aadchit. It identified the deceased as Hezbollah combatant Hassan Ali Najm, whose passing was verified by the organization in a Telegram announcement.
Two women and four more members of the same family were slain in a follow-up attack later on Wednesday, a security source told AFP. They had no ties to Hezbollah, according to the source.
