Intense Shootout at Israel's Northern Border After Exchange of Fire with Hezbollah

An intense shootout took place at Israel's northern border following an exchange of fire between Israel's army and the Lebanese Hezbollah. The pro-Iranian militia launched around 80 rockets in multiple waves of attacks on northern Israel, in response to the death of five Syrians in Israeli attacks in southern Lebanon, including three children. Israel's army reported intercepting some rockets, while others fell in open areas with no injuries reported. In retaliation, the Israeli Air Force targeted Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon following the rocket fire, as announced by the military. However, the information provided by both sides could not be independently verified. The staterun Lebanese news agency NNA reported that three Syrian children aged between five and ten were killed in an Israeli drone strike on an agricultural area in southern Lebanon, while another Israeli drone reportedly killed two Syrian men.
