Hezbollah on Monday announced waging two attacks on Israeli posts in northern Israel as Israeli shelling and airstrikes targeted several Lebanese southern border towns.

In a statement, Hezbollah said it attacked Israeli troops near the Mattat barracks with the "appropriate weapons."

In two other statements, the militant group said it attacked the Beit Hillel military base east of Kiryat Shmona, achieving "certain casualties," and a gathering of Israeli troops near the Birket Risha post.

It also announced on Monday the death of two of its fighters in south Lebanon and held an official funeral for one of them in the coastal city of Tyre.

Meanwhile, Israel's Channel 12 said that an anti-tank missile fired from Lebanon landed in the Miskav Am settlement causing no casualties.

The Israeli artillery shelled in retaliation the outskirts of Adaisseh, Sarda, Wadi Hamoul, Kfarkila, Deir Mimas, Rwaisseh, al-Hamames, al-Ezziyeh, al-Awaida, Hanine and Aita al-Shaab.

An Israeli airstrike also targeted an open agricultural area south of Mays al-Jabal, causing no casualties, as Israeli drones bombed the outskirts of Aita al-Shaab and the al-Raheb Hill.

Israeli warplanes also struck the peripheries of the town of Aitaroun, with heavy smoke billowing and explosions echoing across the Bint Jbeil district.
