Lebanon’s Hezbollah group announced targeting at dawn on Tuesday Israel’s al-Raheb military outpost on the border with Lebanon, the Arab World Press reported.
In a statement on Telegram, Hezbollah said it targeted the outpost in response to Israel’s war on Gaza and its continued targeting of civilians since October 7.
The Israeli army said earlier that alarm sirens were sounded in north Israel.
The conflict between the two parties erupted on October 8, a day after Hamas launched its surprise attack on Israel, sparking the war on Gaza.
Initially, Hezbollah launched attacks against Israel from southern Lebanon in “support of the resistance in Gaza.” The war has now turned into one of attrition, running along the southern border.
Israel’s attacks on the South have devastated villages and left hundreds of people dead.

France Declines to Comment on Algeria’s Anger over Recognition of Morocco’s Claim over Sahara

Paris declined to comment on Algeria’s “strong condemnation” of the French government’s decision to recognize Morocco’s claim over the Sahara.

The office of the French Foreign Ministry refused to respond to an AFP request for a comment on the Algeria’s stance.

It did say that further comments could impact the trip Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune is set to make to France in late September or early October.

The visit has been postponed on numerous occasions over disagreements between the two countries.

France had explicitly expressed its constant and clear support for the autonomy rule proposal over the Sahara during Foreign Minister Stephane Sejourne’s visit to Morocco in February, reported AFP.

The position has helped improve ties between Rabat and Paris.

On Thursday, the Algerian Foreign Ministry expressed “great regret and strong denunciation" about the French government's decision to recognize an autonomy plan for the Western Sahara region "within Moroccan sovereignty”.

Algeria was informed of the decision by France in recent days, an Algerian foreign ministry statement added.

The ministry also said Algeria would draw all the consequences from the decision and hold the French government alone completely responsible.
