Hezbollah fighters killed in Lebanese-Israeli border clashes

The group reported the updated toll as fighting continues along the Israel-Lebanon border, bringing the total number of Hezbollah members killed in the current escalation to 19. Israel's military says it hit several Hezbollah positions today in response to missile fire from Lebanon.

There are concerns that the Iran-backed Hezbollah, which has a weapons arsenal consisting of tens of thousands of rockets and missiles as well as different types of drones, might try to open a new front in the Israel-Hamas war with a large-scale attack on northern Israel. Lebanon's state-run National News Agency reported Israeli shelling of several villages and said a car took a direct hit in the village of Houla. On Saturday evening, shelling intensified around an Israeli army post across from the Lebanese village of Yaroun.

Fears are mounting in Lebanon - of an escalation in the fighting between Hezbollah and the Israeli Army, which began after the start of the war on Gaza.
