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 Israeli army issued a statement on Sunday requesting the residents of five towns in southern Lebanon to evacuate in anticipation of airstrikes, while warning residents not to head south.
The military told the residents of Zawtar al-Sharqiya, Zawtar al-Gharbiya, Arnoun, Yuhmor, and al-Qusayba, to evacuate their homes immediately and move north of the Awwali River.
“You must evacuate immediately to the north of Awwali River to ensure your safety, you must evacuate without delay. Anyone near Hezbollah fighters, facilities or weapons is putting their life at risk”, added the statement.
In a separate statement, the army said that sirens sounded in central Israel due to Hezbollah rockets fired from Lebanon.
It added that six projectiles were detected crossing from Lebanon into Israeli territory, and that its air forces intercepted five of the rockets, while the last one landed in an open area.
