- Story Text: Israel and Hezbollah exchanged heavy fire into Sunday (September 22), with Israeli warplanes carrying out the most intense bombardment in almost a year of war across Lebanon's south and Hezbollah firing rockets deep into northern Israel.
Smoke was seen rising on Sunday morning on the Lebanese side of the border, from the coastal city of Tyre.
The Israeli military said it struck around 290 targets on Saturday (September 21), including thousands of Hezbollah rocket launcher barrels, and said it would continue to strike targets of the Iran-backed movement.
Sirens sounded all night as multiple rockets and missiles were fired from Lebanon and Iraq, most of which were intercepted by Israeli aerial defense systems, the military said.
Hezbollah said it targeted the Israeli Ramat David Airbase with dozens of missiles in response to "repeated Israeli attacks on Lebanon," the group posted on its Telegram channel early on Sunday.
The successive barrages of rocket attacks launched by Hezbollah at Ramat David are the deepest strikes it has claimed since hostilities began.
