Hezbollah said Saturday that it launched suicide drones at an Israeli artillery position in Beit Hillel that had targeted Lebanese villages and civilians on Friday.

According to a statement, the position went up in flames after it was “accurately” hit. Israeli media reports confirmed that two drones had exploded in Beit Hillel.

Hezbollah said in statements Friday that it fired waves of rockets at Israeli positions in Kiryat Shmona, Margaliot, Ayelet and Shlomi.

It called the bombardment retaliation for Israeli strikes on homes in southern Lebanon.

The Israeli military said in a statement that two of its soldiers were lightly injured. It said it responded to the rocket strikes by firing artillery at several sites in southern Lebanon.

Lebanese state news agency NNA reported that white phosphorus shells were fired from Israeli positions.

Israel's army has previously insisted it respects international law in the use of such munitions.

NNA reported four people lightly injured on the Lebanese side, including two firefighters.
