By mid-morning, the exchange of fire had ended, with both sides saying they had only aimed at military targets. The Israeli strikes killed three militants in Lebanon, and Israel\u2019s military said a soldier was killed by either an interceptor of incoming fire or shrapnel from one. But the situation remained tense.”<\/p>\n

“Israel said around 100 warplanes launched airstrikes targeting thousands of rocket launchers across southern Lebanon to thwart an imminent Hezbollah attack. Hezbollah said it launched hundreds of rockets and drones aimed at military bases and missile defense positions in northern Israel and the Israeli-annexed Golan Heights.<\/p>\n
Hezbollah called the attack an initial response to the targeted killing of one of its founding members and top commanders, Fouad Shukur, in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut last month. It said its military operations for Sunday were concluded, but Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah said they will \u201creserve the right to respond at a later time\u201d if the results of Sunday\u2019s attack aimed at a military intelligence base near Tel Aviv aren\u2019t sufficient.<\/p>\n
Israel\u2019s military said its intelligence base near Tel Aviv wasn\u2019t hit. Lt. Col. Nadav Shoshani, an Israeli military spokesman, said an initial assessment showed \u201cvery little damage\u201d in Israel.”<\/p>\n
