JAKARTA - Hezbollah forces continued rocket and artillery attacks on Israel ending a pause along the border after Israel's assassination of military commander Fuad Shukr in Beirut.

As reported by Reuters, Hezbollah said it fired surface missiles into the air (SAM) at Israeli warplanes flying in Lebanese airspace and forced it to return.

Its troops also launched two artillery strikes and two rocket attacks on military positions in northern Israel.

While the Israeli military said it managed to intercept air targets coming from Lebanon to the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.

Israeli airstrikes and artillery fire hit several villages in southern Lebanon on Friday, August 2 according to Lebanese state media.

The Israeli military also attacked two Hezbollah fighters in southern Lebanon.

As previously reported, Lebanese Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah vowed to retaliate for the Israeli assassination of the group's main military commander.

Israel's attack on Hezbollah on the southern suburbs of Beirut on Tuesday killed top commander Fuad Shukr, along with an Iranian military adviser and five civilians.

This is the most serious blow to Iran-backed groups in nearly two decades and threatens to push each other to revenge on the southern border of Lebanon along with the Gaza War into a major regional conflict.

Speaking in a televised address to commemorate the funeral of the killed commander, Nasrallah said the conflict had entered a new phase unlike the previous phase.

Hezbollah said Israel had crossed the red line by attacking the group's camp.

Nas sallah mengatakan negara-negara yang tidak disebutkan namanya telah meminta kelompoknya untuk membalasan dengan cara yang dapat diterima atau tidak sama sekali.

But he said it was "impossible" for the group not to give a response.

"There is no discussion on this. The only thing that exists between us and you is day, night and battlefield," Nasrallah continued as a threat to Israel.
