Our correspondent reported that the Israeli army considers a 4-kilometer-wide strip inside Israel on the border with Lebanon a closed military zone.
This decision means that civilians are prohibited from entering the area.
He added that Israel asked residents of areas in the Galilee adjacent to the border with Lebanon to go to shelters.
Since the outbreak of war between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip, last Saturday, the northern front has been on fire, with the pace of bombing and clashes becoming daily, in addition to repeated infiltration attempts into Israel.
Sunday clashes
Hezbollah said in a statement: “We targeted a Merkava tank at the Al-Raheb site with guided missiles, which led to it being directly hit and its crew being killed and wounded.”
Our correspondent stated that a missile struck the border settlement of Shtula, killing an Israeli and wounding others.
Hezbollah repeated its launch of anti-missiles at Israel twice later.
The Israeli army responded by bombing areas in Lebanese territory.
The army said in a statement: “Lebanese territory is being attacked in response to the targeting of one of our border positions with another anti-tank missile, and the army forces attacked the sources of fire with artillery.”
Our correspondent reported that the Israeli bombing intensified on the outskirts of the towns of Alma al-Shaab and Ayta al-Shaab, opposite the Shtola settlement.
An Israeli shell also fell on the outskirts of the border town of Rmeish.
