The Lebanese Ministry of Health confirmed that one person was killed and another injured in an Israeli attack on the border.
The bombing came on the heels of an Israeli airstrike on Beirut on the sixth day that killed at least 45 people, including two key Hezbollah leaders, including women and children. Hezbollah was already recovering from a sophisticated attack days earlier that had caused thousands of personal devices to explode.
The Israeli military has carried out a wave of attacks in southern Lebanon over the past 24 hours, targeting nearly 400 militant sites, including rocket launchers. The strikes will thwart a larger attack, said Lt. Col. Nadav Shoshani, an Israeli military spokesman.

Israel Hezbollah has been exchanging fire since the war in Gaza began nearly a year ago, when the group began firing in solidarity with the Palestinians and Hamas, or its Iranian-backed ally. The low-intensity conflict has killed dozens. IsraelHundreds of people in Lebanon and tens of thousands of people displaced on both sides of the border.
Neither side seems keen on a full-scale war, with Hezbollah so far refraining from attacking Tel Aviv or major civilian infrastructure. Contudo, in the past few weeks, Israel It shifted its focus from Gaza to Lebanon, promising to restore calm along the border so civilians could return to their homes. Hezbollah has said it will not stop its attacks unless there is a ceasefire in Gaza, but peace talks led by the United States, Egypt and Qatar have repeatedly collapsed.

Hezbollah claimed responsibility for firing dozens of Fadi 1 and Fadi 2 missiles – new weapons the party had not used before – at the Ramat David air base, southeast of Haifa, “in response to repeated Israeli attacks on several Lebanese areas.”

The most violent airstrike in Beirut since 2006 Israel– Hezbollah war.
Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Galant said the attack disrupted Hezbollah’s chain of command and eliminated Aqil, who he blamed for the deaths of Israelis. Aqil was on a list of two other defendants two years ago, with a £5.7m offer for his role in the 1983 attack on the US embassy in Beirut and the seizure of US and German goods during Lebanon’s civil war in the 1980s.
Speaking to Sky News’ Trevor Phillips on Sunday morning, Mr Herzog said: “We have excellent relations with the British government. We have excellent relations with the people of Gra Brittany.
“We personally have a very strong affinity with His Majesty's Government and with Great Britain in general, but we must also understand that, among friends, we hope that friends and allies will always be present to us, just as we are to him.
There is a feeling of disappointment Israel I express that to my friends.
To Akinto: “I met Prime Minister Starmer at the opening of the Olympic Games. We hope that all our allies will stand together so that we do not fight this terrible situation and fight like us to make our decisions. Lar.”
