Hezbollah resumes rocket and artillery fire on Israel after killing of army commander Hezbollah forces resumed rocket and artillery fire on Israel on Friday, ending a lull along the border following the killing of an Israeli army commander by a Lebanese group that had entered Beirut. Hezbollah said it had fired surface-to-air missiles at Israeli fighter jets flying in Lebanese airspace overnight, forcing them to turn back. The army also said it had carried out two artillery and two rocket attacks on military positions in northern Israel. The Israeli army said in a statement that it had successfully intercepted an aerial target that had entered the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights from Lebanon. Israeli airstrikes and artillery bombarded several villages in southern Lebanon on Friday, a day after doctors said Israeli airstrikes killed at least five Syrian migrant workers in southern Lebanon, Lebanese state media reported.
The Israeli army also said it struck two Hezbollah militants in southern Lebanon.
Hezbollah leader Said Hassan Nasrallah said in a speech on Thursday that following Tuesday's Israeli airstrike in Beirut that killed military commander Fuad Shukr, he called for calm to pay tribute to the victims and consider next steps arranged at the border.
An attack on Hezbollah's stronghold of Dahieh, on the southern outskirts of Beirut, also killed an Iranian military adviser and five civilians.
Nasrallah said Hezbollah would retaliate but that it would need to assess its response and resume regular military operations against Israel if it did not.
Hezbollah and the Israeli army have been engaged in a firefight for almost 10 months in parallel with the Gaza war, but the exchanges have been largely confined to the border area.
But attacks since last week have raised fears that the conflict could escalate into a full-scale regional war.
Israel and the United States have accused Hezbollah of killing 12 teenagers in a rocket attack on the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights on July 27. Hezbollah denies the allegations. The U.N. peacekeeping force in Lebanon, known as UNIFIL, told Reuters on Friday it was not investigating the incident because the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights is outside its mission area.
