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.

Gunman Shot Dead, 3 Police Injured in Shooting near Israeli Embassy in Jordan

A gunman was dead and three policemen injured after a shooting near the Israeli embassy in neighboring Jordan, a security source and state media said on Sunday.
Police shot a gunman who had fired at a police patrol in the Rabiah neighborhood of Amman, state news agency Petra reported, citing public security, adding investigations were ongoing.
Jordan's government communications minister, Mohamed Momani, described the shooting as a terror attack that targeted public security forces in the country. He said in a statement that investigations into the attack were under way.
Jordanian police had earlier cordoned off an area near the heavily policed embassy after gunshots were heard, witnesses said. Two witnesses said police and ambulances rushed to the Rabiah neighborhood, where the embassy is located.
The area is a flashpoint for frequent demonstrations against Israel. The kingdom has witnessed some of the biggest peaceful rallies across the region as anti-Israel sentiment runs high over the war in Gaza.
Police had called on residents to stay in their homes as security personnel searched for the culprits, a security source said.
