Lebanon’s Hezbollah group said on Tuesday it attacked the Israeli Malkiya military base opposite Lebanon’s southern town of Houla.
“In support of the staunch Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, we have launched a strike using the appropriate weaponry in the morning today at the Israeli Malkiya base inflicting direct damages”, a Hezbollah statement said.
A pro-Hezbollah television station said earlier that “Israeli artillery has struck the outskirts of the town of Aitaroun in South Lebanon”.
The Israel-Lebanon border has seen escalating tit-for-tat exchanges, mainly between the Israeli army and Hamas ally Hezbollah, since the Palestinian group launched a shock attack on Israel on October 7. Israel has carried out relentless strikes on Gaza in retaliation.

The European Union's foreign policy chief called on Sunday during a visit to Beirut for pressure to be exerted on both the Israeli government and on Lebanon's Hezbollah to accept a US ceasefire proposal.
Speaking at a news conference in Beirut, Josep Borell also urged Lebanese leaders to pick a president to end a two-year power vacuum in the country, and he pledged 200 million euros in support for Lebanon's armed forces.
US envoy Amos Hochstein traveled to the region earlier this week in pursuit of a deal to end months of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah that has erupted into full-on war.
Israeli attacks have killed more than 3,500 people in Lebanon, according to Lebanon's Health Ministry.
