Tehran, IRNA -- The Israeli military has reportedly carried out yet another artillery attack in southern Lebanon amid heightened tensions between the Lebanese Resistance Movement Hezbollah and the Zionist regime.

Sama news agency has quoted a Lebanese source as saying that the Israeli artillery shells the towns of Belida and Meiss al-Jabal in southern Lebanon.

The reported attack comes a day after a member of Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah was killed in an Israeli drone attack targeting a car in southern Lebanon. A high ranking official from the resistance group said to have survived the strike.

On early Sunday, Israeli warplanes also fired missiles and rockets at the towns of al-Adisa, Misra, and Aabbassiyeh, located in the south of Lebanon.

Last week, Hezbollah also launched new strikes on northern parts of the occupied territories, firing a barrage of missiles at Western Galilee where sirens were sounded. The group also targeted gatherings of Israeli soldiers near the outposts of Al-Abad and al-Raheb.

The two sides have kept exchanging artillery fire and rockets since Israel launched its genocidal war on Gaza in early October. The Lebanese movement says attacks on Israel will stop only if the regime ends its onslaught on Palestinians.
