Israeli forces targeted several areas of southern Lebanon with artillery and machine-gun fire on Friday, Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reported.
Israeli artillery struck the town of Houla and Wadi al-Salouqi, the agency said. No casualties or damage were immediately reported.
The attacks came a day after Israeli forces intensified their offensive across southern Lebanon, carrying out air strikes, artillery shelling and ground incursions in areas including Mansouri and Mays al-Jabal.
Israel has continued its attacks on Lebanon since launching a new offensive on March 2, with its forces advancing into additional areas of the south.
On June 26, Lebanon and Israel reached a US-mediated framework agreement providing for a gradual Israeli withdrawal from occupied Lebanese territory in exchange for the deployment of the Lebanese army and the disarmament of armed groups, including Hezbollah.
US-sponsored talks have since continued over implementation of the agreement, including arrangements for Israeli withdrawal and Lebanese army deployment, while Israeli attacks in southern Lebanon have persisted.
