Hezbollah attacks posts and equipment along border with Israel

Hezbollah fighters targeted Friday several Israeli posts along the border.

The group said it attacked the Hadb Yaroun post twice and a crane carrying surveillance equipment in the Dovev Farms, inflicting casualties.

On Thursday, Hezbollah accused Israel of hacking into CCTV cameras installed outside homes and shops in southern Lebanon to gain visibility after Hezbollah’s cross-border attacks had targeted most of the cameras Israel had installed near the border.

Since Oct.8, more than 1,700 rockets have been fired from Lebanon toward Israel, killing 15 Israelis, including nine soldiers, and injuring more than 150 people.

Israel has evacuated about 60,000 people from more than 40 northern communities, including the main city of Kiryat Shmona.

On the Lebanese side, around 74,500 people have been displaced by the fighting, according to the International Organization for Migration.

Nearly 160 people have been killed by Israeli airstrikes and shelling. Most of those were fighters with Hezbollah and allied groups, but at least 19 civilians have also been killed, including journalists and children.
