A car was hit in the latter strike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lebanon\u2019s state-run National News Agency reported that a man \u201cfrom one of the Palestinian organizations\u201d had survived the strike on the car. In addition to targeting Hezbollah members, Israel has occasionally targeted members of Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups in Lebanon. There were no immediate reports of other casualties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Later Monday afternoon, Hezbollah announced that it had targeted military surveillance equipment in northern Israel with an exploding drone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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 Hassan Nasrallah claimed drones had hit an Israeli military intelligence site near Tel Aviv. Israel said no military target was hit. Neither offered evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hezbollah declared its retaliatory operation was over, at least for the time being, and neither side launched strikes overnight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beirut (National Times) After a short-lived calm following a heavy exchange of strikes between Israel and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, fighting resumed Monday.
