IDF shells southern Lebanon after missiles fired at border community

Missiles were launched from southern Lebanon at a kibbutz on the northern border on Thursday morning, with skirmishes between the Israeli military and Hezbollah terror group continuing amid the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip.

According to the Israel Defense Forces, two anti-tank guided missiles were fired at Kibbutz Manara, close to the border, causing no injuries.

The IDF said it was responding with artillery shelling against the missile launch site.

Hezbollah has fired dozens of anti-tank guided missiles, rockets, and mortars at Israeli military positions and Israeli towns since Hamas’s October 7 onslaught on southern Israel, while also sending gunmen — some affiliated with Palestinian terror groups — to infiltrate into northern Israel. Several drones have also been intercepted over northern Israel.

Early Thursday, the IDF said it carried out airstrikes against Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon in response to a series of missile, rocket, and mortar attacks carried out by the terror group on northern Israel a day earlier. One person was moderately wounded in one of the attacks Wednesday. READ MORE
