\nHezbollah said it attacked an Israeli army base near the border on Wednesday, with the latest in a series of tit-for-tat strikes wounding 14 soldiers, according to Israel\u2019s military.
\nIsrael and Hezbollah have been exchanging near-daily cross-border fire since October 7, triggering crisis in the Gaza Strip.
\nBut Wednesday\u2019s incident marked the third day in a row that Hezbollah strikes wounded people in Israel, with regional tensions high after Iran launched a direct attack on Israel over the weekend in retaliation for a deadly strike on Tehran\u2019s Damascus consulate.
\nHours after the strike on Arab al-Aramshe, an Arab-majority village in northern Israel near the border, Israeli forces hit targets in eastern Lebanon, a Hezbollah source said.
\nAccording to the source, the strike targeted a warehouse in Iaat, a residential area near Baalbek, and \u201clightly\u201d wounded one man. The official National News Agency reported three drone strikes in the area, a Hezbollah stronghold far from the border with Israel.
\nA photographer said the warehouse that was hit stored vegetables and agricultural produce.
\nThere was no immediate comment from the Israeli military, which earlier said 14 soldiers were wounded in the strike on northern Israel, including six seriously.
\nHezbollah said it launched \u201ca combined attack with guided missiles and explosive drones on a new military reconnaissance command centre in Arab al-Aramshe\u201d.
\nAccording to the Israeli army, \u201ca number of launches from Lebanon were identified crossing into the area of Arab al-Aramshe,\u201d and Israeli forces struck the sources of the fire.
\nHezbollah said the attack came \u201cin response to the enemy assassinating a number of resistance fighters in Ain Baal and Shehabiya\u201d on Tuesday.
\nOn Tuesday, Israel said its strikes in south Lebanon killed two local Hezbollah commanders and another operative, with the Iran-backed group saying three of its members were killed as it launched rockets in retaliation.
\nLocal Israeli authorities said three people were wounded in a strike from Lebanon earlier that day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
