Hezbollah announced Sunday that it had targeted an Israeli military site near the southern Lebanese border, while Israeli airstrikes continued in different areas in the south.

The Lebanon-based resistance group said in a statement that it "targeted the Jal al-Alam site with a Burkan missile (short-range missile), and achieved a direct hit."

Meanwhile, the Lebanese National News Agency reported that "the Israeli enemy opened fire with heavy machine guns towards the outskirts of the town of Naqoura, Jabal al-Labouneh, Alma al-Shaab, and Ramiya."

Tension flared along the border between Lebanon and Israel amid intermittent exchanges of fire between Israeli forces and Hezbollah in the deadliest clashes since the two sides fought a full-scale war in 2006.

The border tension comes amid an Israeli military offensive in the Gaza Strip that has killed over 30,410 people following a cross-border attack by the Palestinian group Hamas on Oct. 7 last year.
