According to the sources, Israel carried out four airstrikes on Friday morning targeting three towns and villages in the eastern and central regions and fired about 40 shells on seven towns and villages in the border region of southern Lebanon.

Meanwhile, Hezbollah said that it used drones and heavy missiles to attack eight Israeli military positions in regions including al-Motella, Manara, and Shtoula, on Thursday night and early Friday morning.

Tensions along the Lebanon-Israel border escalated on Oct 8, 2023, following a barrage of rockets launched by Hezbollah toward Israel in support of Hamas' attack on Israel the day before. Israel then retaliated by firing heavy artillery toward southeastern Lebanon.
