The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Hezbollah say they exchanged more fire across the Israel-Lebanon border on Monday, including Hezbollah's use of powerful Borkan missiles against Israel.

Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA) said there have been 10 Hezbollah strikes on Israeli positions since midnight local time, and Israel carried out 15 individual strikes, including artillery, drone and helicopters in south Lebanon on Hezbollah targets. NNA said among the strikes, two were in the eastern sector of south Lebanon, an Israeli drone strike on a house in Al-Khiyam and Israeli artillery shelling on Mays Al-Jabal.

Neither NNA nor the IDF said if there were any casualties during these cross-border attacks.

Hezbollah fired four Borkan missiles at the Braneit barracks Monday morning, saying it is the command center of the IDF’s 91st Division. In his last speech, Hezbollah’s leader Hassan Nasrallah said the Borkan missile carries between 300 to 500 kilograms (about 661 to 1,102 pounds) of explosives.

In addition, Hezbollah said it used three attack drones and artillery to target a gathering of Israeli soldiers west of Kiryat Shmona. The group also said it fired rockets and artillery to target Israeli military infantry in Mothalath al-Tayhat, and that it attacked several Israeli military posts in the eastern, central and western sectors of the border.

In a statement released on Monday, the IDF said, “a terrorist cell attempted to launch anti-tank missiles in the area of Marwahin in Lebanon. The IDF struck the cell. Additionally, in response to the launches toward Israeli territory earlier today, IDF tanks, a fighter jet, and a helicopter struck Hezbollah terror infrastructure in Lebanon.”

The IDF added, “25 launches were identified from Lebanon toward several locations adjacent to the border. The IDF Aerial Defense Array intercepted a number of the launches and the rest fell in open areas. Moreover, three UAVs were identified striking adjacent to an IDF post. No injuries were reported.”

The IDF said it struck the sources of the Hezbollah launches.

Some background: The first cross-border strikes between Hezbollah and Israel were carried out by Hezbollah on October 8. Strikes, and counter strikes, have continued daily since then.
