Border clashes between Hezbollah and Israel continued on Friday.
Israeli warplanes destroyed one house and damaged three others in an attack on the outskirts of Markaba, killing two Hezbollah fighters. Both had apparently succumbed to wounds they had sustained.
The pro-Iranian group first announced the death of one combatant, identified as Abbas Hammoud, code-named “Amir”, from Markaba. It later said another combatant, Fadel Noureddine, was also killed in the raid.
Earlier, Hezbollah reported targeting the technical system of the Israeli Ramya site with a guided missile, resulting in its destruction. It also claimed responsibility for an attack on Israeli soldiers moving through the Hadab Yaroun site in the morning.
Hezbollah’s air defense units had previously fired anti-aircraft missiles at Israeli fighter jets flying over southern Lebanon. The planes had to “withdraw from Lebanese airspace,” according to a statement issued by the group on Thursday night.
Then, shortly after midnight, Israeli military aircraft attacked the outskirts of Aita al-Shaab, targeting an uninhabited house, before targeting the village with two missiles. Israeli MK spy planes also carried out reconnaissance flights over the Hasbaya caza, including Mount Hermon, and overflew the Beqaa Valley and the Iqlim al-Tuffah region.
