Three Hezbollah fighters have been killed as Israel shelled the Lebanese group’s positions along the border, the Reuters news agency reported. Hezbollah had confirmed the death of one of its members, identifying him as Raef Ftouni.

Earlier on Monday members of the Islamic Jihad Palestinian group had launched a cross border attack against Israel from Lebanon amid the raging war in Gaza. Fires ignited along the border amid the Israeli shelling.

Al Jazeera’s Ali Hashem said the killing of Hezbollah fighters represents a “real escalation” at the Lebanese border, noting that the group often retaliates for the killing of its members.

“This would mean that they could launch another attack in the coming hours,” he said. Hezbollah and Israel have not seen a major confrontation since the 2006 war.

Elias Farhat is a former Lebanese army general.
