Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency said on Tuesday that an Israeli airstrike on the southern town of Kfar Kila has caused “massive damages”.
NNA said that Israel hit the southern town of Kfar Kila with four heavy missiles that caused major damage.
Another two air raids targeted the town of Al Khyam at midnight, it added.
Israel on one hand, and Hezbollah and other armed Palestinian factions on the other have engaged in near-daily exchange of cross-border fire since the Israeli war erupted in Gaza on October 6.
On Monday, Hezbollah said it hit three Israeli outposts in north Israel using armed drones and missiles.
Israeli media outlets said four soldiers were injured in an attack near the border.

At least 18 people were killed and dozens of others wounded in an Israeli airstrike on a Gaza mosque early on Sunday, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.

The strike was carried out on the mosque near the Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip.
Eyewitnesses said the number of casualties could rise as the mosque was being used to house displaced people.

The Israeli military said in a statement it "conducted a precise strike on Hamas terrorists who were operating within a command and control center embedded in a structure that previously served as the 'Shuhada al-Aqsa' Mosque in the area of Deir al Balah."

Israel's military assault on Gaza has killed nearly 42,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza's health ministry. It has also displaced nearly all of the enclave's 2.3 million people, caused a hunger crisis and led to genocide allegations at the World Court that Israel denies.
