Israel and Hezbollah have exchanged daily fire on the Israeli-Lebanese border since October. At least 346 people were killed in Lebanon – mostly Hezbollah fighters, but also at least 68 civilians – in these clashes, according to a count carried out by AFP on March 27.
Israel is bombarding Lebanese territory more and more deeply, as on March 24 in Baalbek, a town in eastern Lebanon, distant almost 100 kilometers from the Israeli border. The Jewish state is also increasing targeted attacks against Hezbollah and Hamas officials, such as the one that took place on Friday.
