Hezbollah has issued a statement saying it launched a “squadron of missiles” in response to the attack on Lebanon, which killed three medics, Al Jazeera reports.

Hezbollah said the headquarters of Israel’s 91st Division, which is responsible for its northern border, “hitting offices and soldiers with precision”.

The health ministry condemned the attack as a “blatant strike” on an official Lebanese state apparatus, Al Jazeera said.

The intensity of fighting between Hezbollah and Israel has ratcheted up steadily, displacing tens of thousands of people on either side of the Lebanese-Israeli frontier.
