On Wednesday Lebanese-based militant group Hezbollah launched a barrage of missiles and drones targeting a military facility in northern Israel.
Reportedly, the attack resulted in the injury of 14 Israeli soldiers, with six of them in serious condition, according to the Israeli military.
The incident comes as retaliation for Israeli airstrikes that claimed the lives of Hezbollah members, including a field commander, in southern Lebanon just a day prior, according to Lebanese security sources.
Israeli forces responded to the missile and drone launches by striking the sources of fire, identified as originating from Lebanon towards the Bedouin village of Arab al-Aramshe.
According to the media reports, the targeted soldiers were situated in a community centre within the village at the time of the attack.
The exchange of fire between Israeli forces and Hezbollah has been ongoing for over six months, occurring with the conflict in Gaza.
These hostilities mark the most significant confrontation since the 2006 war between the two parties.
Concerns over further escalation have been increasing, particularly following Iran’s retaliatory attack on Israel, including the launch of hundreds of explosive drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles. Israeli officials have vowed to respond to the Iranian attack.
