Shelling intensifies at Lebanon-Israel border

Shelling at the Lebanon-Israel border has intensified on Thursday, with Hezbollah saying it had fired missiles at eight positions across the border and Israel saying it had retaliated with artillery.

A Lebanese security source said Israeli bombardment, including drone strikes, hit at least a dozen villages along Lebanon's southern border.

The Israeli military said in a statement it had struck a "cell" in Lebanon that had tried launching anti-tank missiles towards Israel and was firing artillery onto other targets.

It said no injuries were reported in the shelling on Israel.

The Lebanese security source said it was one of the most violent days there since the start of the war on 7 October.
