Beirut: Hezbollah claimed Sunday it launched rocket barrages at Israeli military positions in southern Lebanon, targeting troop and vehicle concentrations in several locations.

According to Anadolu Agency, the armed group stated that it struck soldiers and military vehicles at Khazzan Hill in the border town of Adaisseh, at Jabal Warda in the border town of Merkaba, and Muhaisibat Hill in southern Lebanon. Furthermore, Hezbollah claimed additional rocket attacks targeted Israeli soldiers in the city of Khiam in southern Lebanon, as well as a newly established Israeli position known as Hamamis in southern Khiam.

The attacks are part of an escalating cross-border campaign. Hezbollah began targeting Israeli military sites on March 2 in response to Israeli strikes on Lebanon, despite a November 2024 ceasefire agreement. In retaliation, Israel expanded its campaign the same day with airstrikes on Beirut's southern suburbs and areas in southern and eastern Lebanon, eventually launching a limited ground incursion into southern Lebanon on March 3.

Broader regional tensions are high amid U.S. and Israeli attacks against Iran, which began on February 28. The strikes have reportedly killed at least 1,300 people in Iran, including then-Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. In response, Tehran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf countries hosting U.S. military assets.
