(27 Jul 2020) Plumes of smoke were seen billowing after Israel opened fire on Monday on Kfarchouba hills in southern Lebanon, targeting suspected Hezbollah posts.
The fighting came as Israel was on heightened alert for a possible attack by Hezbollah, after an Israeli airstrike in Syria killed a Hezbollah militant last week.
In a statement, the Israeli army said a “security incident” had taken place and civilians near the border were to remain in their homes. It also blocked roads and told people to avoid “non-essential” travel.
Israel and Hezbollah fought to a stalemate in a month-long war in Lebanon in 2006.
Israel has carried out dozens of airstrikes in Syria in recent years targeting what it says are Iranian weapons shipments bound for Hezbollah in Lebanon.
