Israel and Hezbollah exchange rocket and missile attacks

Israel and Hezbollah traded rocket and missile near the Lebanese-Israeli border on Saturday.

Hezbollah said it shot down an Israeli drone in the early hours of the morning, while the Israeli military said it intercepted a missile fired at an Israeli drone.

An Israeli air strike hit a building in an industrial area near the town of Nabatieh in southern Lebanon, according to a Lebanese official.

The attack is one of the deepest Israeli strikes inside Lebanese territory since 7 October. 

Lebanese politician Hani Kobeissy posted a video online after visiting the site, which he said was an aluminium supply store that Israel had bombed.

Hezbollah said on Saturday that it had hit Israeli military sites and soldiers in areas along the border and caused casualties.

Over 70 Hezbollah fighters and 10 civilians have been killed since violence broke out along the border last month. At least 10 Israelis, most of them soldiers, have been killed.
