Iran-backed Hezbollah said in a statement that one of its fighters was killed but did not specify when.

Three people in south Lebanon were killed by Israeli shelling on Friday in south Lebanon, according to Lebanon’s state news agency. Hezbollah said two of the dead were its fighters.

Hezbollah also said it fired rockets at an Israeli position.

Israel’s military said two mortar bombs launched from Lebanon fell in open areas in Shomera, across the border from the south Lebanon village of Marwahin. The military said it responded by attacking the launch site and elsewhere in south Lebanon.

Earlier today, shelling from Israel hit close to the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (Unifil) headquarters near the coastal town of Naqoura and around the border village of Rmaych, a Unifil spokesman said.

The Israeli military said it carried out shelling near Naqoura after spotting “unusual activity” in the area.

Unifil also detected fire around 11am local time from the area of Tayr Harfa, about a mile from the Israeli frontier, toward Israel, the spokesman said.

Following the eruption of the Hamas-Israel war on Oct 7, Hezbollah mounted near-daily rocket attacks on Israeli positions at the frontier while Israel waged air and artillery strikes in south Lebanon. But the border was largely calm during the week-long truce in the Gaza war.

It has been the worst fighting since the 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah, a Hamas ally.

Just over 100 people in Lebanon have been killed during the hostilities, 83 of them Hezbollah fighters. Tens of thousands of people have fled both sides of the border.
