                      (231018) -- LEBANESE-ISRAELI BORDER, Oct. 18, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Israeli police handle the remains of a rocket fired from Lebanon, in Kiryat Shmona, northern Israel bordering Lebanon, on Oct. 18, 2023. Lebanon's Hezbollah said on Wednesday it has launched several attacks on Israeli targets with guided missiles. In a statement, the Shiite militant group said it targeted three Israeli sites with missiles, including a center for Israeli soldiers and a surveillance and reconnaissance system south of Al-Manara in northern Israel, "causing several casualties." Hezbollah confirmed the death of one of its members, without revealing more details. The escalation on the Lebanese-Israeli border began when Hezbollah fired multiple rockets on Oct. 8 toward Israeli military sites in support of a Hamas surprise attack against Israel. In response, the Israeli forces fired heavy artillery, targeting various areas in southeast Lebanon on the same day. (Ayal Margolin/JINI via Xinhua)
