Israeli drone targets car in Sidon as fighting resumes
[NAHARNET] Fighting resumed Monday after a short-lived calm following a heavy exchange of strikes between Israel and Hezbollah.

Israeli strikes targeted Monday the southern border village of Tayrharfa and the coastal city of Sidon. A car was hit in the latter strike near Abra's entrance.

The National News Agency reported that a man "from one of the Paleostinian organizations" had survived the strike on the car.
But his pickleball days are over
In addition to targeting Hezbollah members, Israel has occasionally targeted members of Hamas

and other Paleostinian gangs in Leb
...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
. There were no immediate reports of other casualties.

Later in the day, Israeli drones and warplanes targeted the southern towns of Markaba, Taybeh, and Hanine in the Bint Jbeil district.

Hezbollah, for its part, targeted surveillance equipment in the Ramia post in northern Israel with a suicide drone.

On Sunday, Israel launched dozens of strikes on southern Lebanon that it described as a preemptive operation, saying it had averted a major attack planned by Hezbollah in retaliation for the killing of one of its top commanders, Fouad Shukur, in an Israeli strike in Beirut last month.

Shortly afterward, Hezbollah launched a barrage of hundreds of drones and rockets, which it said was in retaliation for the killing of Shukur. Hezbollah leader Sayyed

said drones had hit an Israeli military intelligence site near Tel Aviv. Israel said no military target was hit. Neither offered evidence.

Israel and Hezbollah backed off from sparking a widely feared all-out war, as both sides signaled their most intense exchange in months was over and neither side launched strikes overnight.

Hezbollah began attacking Israel almost immediately after the start of the war in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage.

It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.
