Beirut (Reuters) – Israel shelled southern Lebanon in a second day of violence after the collapse of a truce between Palestinian group Hamas and Israel, as Hezbollah said one of its fighters was killed.
A spokesperson for the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) told Reuters that there was shelling from Israel on Saturday morning that hit close to its headquarters near the coastal town of Naqoura and around the border village of Rmaych.
The Israeli military said it carried out shelling near Naqoura as a warning after spotting “unusual activity” in the area.
UNIFIL then detected fire around 11 a.m. (0900 GMT) from the area of Tayr Harfa, about a mile from the Israeli frontier, toward Israel.
Lebanon’s heavily armed Hezbollah said in a statement on Saturday morning that one of its fighters was killed in south Lebanon but did not give details.
