Lebanon’s Health Ministry says one person has been killed and several others injured in an Israeli attack on the country’s south, amid an intensified exchange of fire between the Israeli regime and the Hezbollah resistance movement.

An Israeli raid hit the village of al-Ahmadiyya in the Western Beqaa District on Friday, killing one person and injuring seven others, including four children, the ministry said.

According to an al-Manar reporter, an Israeli drone was used in the strike that hit a residential building in al-Ahmadiyya.

Another Israeli drone attack hit the outskirts of Houla Village in Southern Lebanon on Friday.

Meanwhile, Israel’s warplanes carried out an airstrike on Blida Village.

Israel also hit the villages of Taybeh, Alma el-shaab and al-Dhahira using artillery shells.

Al-Jebbain village, the outskirts of the villages of Majdal Zoun and Zibqine, and the villages of Marwahin and Boustane were also among the areas targeted by the regime.

For its part, Hezbollah used “appropriate weapons” against a gathering of Israeli forces in the Baraka Risha post on Friday, leaving the troops killed or injured.

Hezbollah fighters also fired Burkan missiles at the Hadb Yarin post, resulting in “direct hits.”

The post engulfed flames and was partially destroyed in the attack.

The resistance fighters also targeted Israeli artillery bunkers in Zaoura with missiles.

A successful Lebanese drone attack also hit the Filon base in the city of Safed in the northern part of the occupied territories.

Earlier in the day, Hezbollah launched a barrage of Katyusha rockets at “the main missile air defense base” of the Northern Command at the Berea barracks near Safed. That came in retaliation for the fatal attack that hit the village of Kfar Jouz on Thursday.

Hezbollah and Israel have been exchanging fire since early October, shortly after the occupying regime launched its war on Gaza.

The movement has vowed to keep up its retaliatory operations as long as the Tel Aviv regime continues its onslaught on Gaza.

Israel waged its genocidal war on Gaza on October 7 after the Palestinian Hamas resistance group carried out Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the usurping entity in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.

Since the start of the offensive, the Tel Aviv regime has killed at least 41,118 Palestinians and injured nearly 95,125 others.
