Israel strikes south Lebanon as it trades fire with Iran

Israeli strikes targeted overnight into Monday Habboush, Srifa, Zefta, Yater, Nabatieh, Safad al-Battikh, Sojod, Jabal Safi, al-Mansouri, Ainqana, Qalaway, al-Sharqiyeh and al-Hallousieh, as Israel and Iran exchanged attacks over Israel's bombing of Dahieh.

Four people were killed in the strike on Zefta, the national News Agency said, adding that several others were killed in Srifa.

Hezbollah, for its part, said it targeted Israeli troops and equipment on the outskirts of the southern town of Beit Yahoun and around the Beaufort Castle, where the Israeli military claimed to have uncovered a sprawling tunnel network.

Israel's military said it intercepted three projectiles targeting its forces in south Lebanon.

"Some of the projectiles were intercepted prior to crossing into Israeli territory, and an additional projectile fell near IDF soldiers. No injuries were reported," the military said.
