In response to the attack, fighters bombed Israeli artillery positions in al-Zoura in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights with dozens of Katyusha rockets, Hezbollah said in a statement on Wednesday, Xinhua news agency reported.

Lebanese military sources told Xinhua that the Lebanese army monitored the launch of about 30 surface-to-surface missiles from the Lebanese side toward Israel and that Israeli Iron Dome missiles intercepted some of them.

According to sources, the Israeli army on Wednesday targeted three villages in the eastern part of southern Lebanon, including Tire Harfa, Kafr Kila and Merkaba, with drones and warplanes and attacked 11 towns and villages with 45 artillery shells.

Tension escalated along the Lebanon-Israel border on October 8, 2023, after a volley of rockets launched towards Israel by Hezbollah in solidarity with Hamas' attack on Israel on October 7. Israel then retaliated by firing heavy artillery toward southeastern Lebanon.
