The report said Hezbollah also attacked Israeli forces in two moshavim in northern Israel and the Malkiyeh settlement.
According to Xinhua news agency, Hezbollah targeted Israeli forces taking shelter in a house in Al-Bayada, causing several casualties.
On Monday, the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) condemned the continued attacks on the Lebanese Armed Forces on the social media platform X.
UNIFIL called it a “gross violation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701 and international humanitarian law, which limit the use of violence against non-combatants.”
UNIFIL appealed to all parties involved in the conflict to resolve their differences through dialogue rather than violence.
The Lebanese Army says that the Israeli Army has repeatedly targeted its soldiers recently. On Sunday, an Israeli airstrike targeted a Lebanese army post in the Ameria axis on the Qalaleh-Tayer road in southwestern Lebanon, killing one soldier and wounding 18 others.
The Israeli army has been carrying out air strikes on Lebanon since September 23. It has also launched a ‘limited’ ground campaign across the border, reportedly aimed at weakening Hezbollah.
