Hezbollah fighters "carried out an aerial attack" using "drones" (unmanned aircraft) against two Israeli military positions north of the city of Acre, "in retaliation for the assassination" of members of the pro-Iranian group, it said in a statement, without reporting any dead or injured. Hezbollah, which has stepped up attacks in recent days, usually targets only border positions. The Israeli army said it had "intercepted two suspicious aerial targets off the northern coast". Earlier today, an Israeli drone strike killed "a Hezbollah engineer, a member of the air defense," a source close to the Shiite party told Agence France-Presse (AFP). The attack took place in the coastal region of Tyre, about 35 kilometers north of the border with Israel, according to an AFP photographer, who saw the charred vehicle. In a statement, the Shiite group mourned the death of one of its members in the locality where the drone attack occurred. The Israeli army reported the deaths of two Hezbollah members in airstrikes in southern Lebanon. The victims were identified as Hussein Ali Azkul - according to the Israeli army a senior militant "involved in planning and executing terrorist attacks" and in "routine activities" of Hezbollah's air unit - and Sajed Sarafand, "a senior terrorist in the al-Radwan forces", Hezbollah's elite unit. Hezbollah had announced the death of one of its fighters on Monday night, while the official National News Agency (ANI) reported intensive Israeli bombing overnight in southern Lebanon. On Sunday night, Hezbollah announced that it had shot down an Israeli drone over Lebanon, which was confirmed by the Israeli army. For more than six months, Israel has been bombing targets deeper and deeper into Lebanon, and its drones regularly target members of the pro-Iranian movement. Exchanges of fire between Israel and Hezbollah since the start of the Gaza war on October 7 have killed 378 on the Lebanese side, including 252 fighters from the Lebanese movement and about 70 civilians, according to an AFP count. In northern Israel, eleven soldiers and eight civilians were killed, according to the army. Tens of thousands of people have had to flee the area on both sides of the border. According to the Associated Press (AP) news agency, Israel has regularly carried out "targeted assassinations" of members of the Islamist movements Hezbollah and Hamas in Lebanon, sometimes in areas far from the border. The Lebanese group Hezbollah and its allies have been attacking Israel along the border for more than six months, in the context of the Israeli war against the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas in the Gaza Strip, prompting almost daily responses from Tel Aviv. The war in Gaza began on October 7, after Hamas attacked Israeli territory, killing more than 1,200 people and kidnapping more than 240, and led to Israel's subsequent military operation in the enclave, which has already killed more than 34,000 people, according to the local Ministry of Health, controlled by Hamas.
