The fighting between Israel and Hezbollah that has flared since October 7 continued on Saturday, APA reports citing CNN.

The Israel Defense Forces said about 10 launches were detected from southern Lebanon, and sirens were activated five times on Saturday morning.

On its Telegram channel, the IDF also said aircraft had struck a Hezbollah structure in the area of Aita al-Shaab, as well as a “terrorist who operated in Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure in the area of Kfarkela (Kfar Kila) in southern Lebanon.” CNN cannot independently confirm the IDF claims about "terrorist infrastructure."

Later Saturday, Hezbollah said it targeted two buildings used by the IDF in Shlomi, northern Israel, in response to strikes in Aita al-Shaab and Kfar Kila.

The militant group said the Israeli strikes targeted "civilian homes." The Lebanese National News Agency also reported a house was destroyed in the strike in Aita al-Shaab. It did not specify if the attack in Shlomi caused any casualties, according to a statement posted on Telegram. CNN cannot independently confirm the claim about homes.

Hezbollah also said it targeted and destroyed "spy equipment" at the IDF's Hanita site on Saturday.

Following the exchanges of fire, Hezbollah announced the death of another one of its fighters.

Hezbollah also said Saturday it targeted a military site and a gathering of IDF soldiers in the Ruwaisat Al-Alam site, which the group says is located in the occupied Lebanese Kfar Shuba Hills.
