The Lebanese group Hezbollah launched anti-tank missiles at an Israeli army post on the northern border on Wednesday. Israel responded with a drone strike on a Hezbollah post amid ongoing clashes following Hamas's Gaza attack. Hezbollah claimed the missile attack was retaliation for Israel killing 3 of its members in strikes on Monday after earlier border incidents. Hezbollah said its missiles caused many Israeli casualties, but Israel said it struck back at the source of fire and at a Hezbollah post, without initial casualty details. Meanwhile, a false rocket alarm sounded in an Israeli village on the tense border. The flare-up highlights rising tensions as conflict persists between Israel and Hamas militant groups in Gaza and beyond.
