BEIRUT — Cross-border fire resumed in southern Lebanon on Thursday, days after a halt in the hostilities between the Israeli army and Hezbollah coinciding with a temporary truce in Gaza between Hamas and Israel.
The Israeli military said in a post on X that it had intercepted an “aerial target” that had crossed from Lebanon into Israeli territory on Thursday.
Earlier, a spokesperson for UNIFIL, the UN peacekeeping forces in Lebanon, told Reuters that Israeli forces had responded to cross-border fire from southern Lebanon. The official Lebanese National News Agency had reported the sound of explosions in the border region.
NNA also reported Israeli warplanes flying over Lebanese airspace in the south. According to local media, Israeli artillery had shelled locations near Al-Rahib, a hill outside the village of Aita al-Shaab.
