Israel and Lebanon's powerful armed group Hezbollah exchanged artillery and rocket fire on Sunday following the deadliest attack in years by Palestinian gunmen on Israel. On Saturday, a multi-pronged attack by Palestinian gunmen on Israeli towns left around 500 Israelis dead, with more than 300 Palestinians killed in Israel's retaliatory bombardment.
"Our history, our guns and our rockets are with you," said senior Hezbollah official Hashem Safieddine at an event in the Hezbollah stronghold of Dahieh on Beirut's outskirts in solidarity with the Palestinian fighters. Israel has held the Shebaa Farms, a 15-square-mile patch of land, since 1967. Both Syria and Lebanon claim the Shebaa Farms are Lebanese.
The IDF said it had identified a target described as "not a hostile aircraft" approaching Israeli territory "and launched an interceptor toward it."Israel's military also said one of its drones struck a Hezbollah post in the area of Har Dov, an area in Shebaa, then fired a warning shot toward a number of "suspects" in the area.
The United Nations peacekeeping mission in southern Lebanon, known as UNIFIL, said it had "detected several rockets fired from southeast Lebanon toward Israeli-occupied territory" as well as artillery fire from Israel into Lebanon in response.
