Israeli and Lebanese officials say Israeli forces and Lebanon’s Hezbollah movement have increased their artillery and rocket attacks on each other’s targets along their shared border, the latest clash raising fears that the conflict could spread across the Middle East.
Hezbollah said it shot down an Israeli drone near the border with Lebanon early on November 18. Meanwhile, the Israeli military said it intercepted a missile fired at the drone. Hezbollah then fired 25 rockets at towns in northern Israel.
Lebanese officials also said Israel had struck a building in an industrial zone near the town of Nabatieh, claiming it was one of the deepest airstrikes into Lebanese territory since the Hamas-Israel conflict erupted on October 7. The Israeli military has not commented on the information.
Lebanon's official news agency said an Israeli drone fired two missiles at an aluminum plant on the road between Toul and Kfour. The source said the airstrike set the facility on fire, but did not say whether there were any casualties. The plant is about 15 kilometers from the border with Israel.
The Lebanese news agency stressed that this was the first airstrike on the Nabatieh region, in the south of the country, since the conflict between Israel and the Hezbollah movement occurred in 2006.
The Lebanon-Israel border has seen daily gunfire since October 7. According to AFP, at least 90 people have been killed in Lebanon in border fighting since last month, most of them Hezbollah fighters and at least 10 civilians. On the Israeli side, six soldiers and three civilians have been killed. This is the bloodiest violence since the conflict between Hezbollah and Israel in 2006.
