Hezbollah said that it carried out simultaneous attacks on Israeli positions at the Lebanese border on Saturday, Nov. 4, as residents of south Lebanon reported some of the fiercest Israeli strikes yet during weeks of cross-border clashes, reported Reuters. The Israeli army said its warplanes had struck Hezbollah targets in response to an earlier attack from Lebanese territory, and was accompanying the air strikes with artillery and tank shelling.
As part of the escalation, a Lebanese source familiar with Hezbollah’s attacks told Reuters that the group had fired a powerful missile not yet used in the fighting, saying it had hit an Israeli position across the border from the villages of Ayta al-Shaab and Rmeich.
