  • Story Text:Smoke billowed over Khiam village in southern Lebanon on Friday (March 28) following Israeli strikes.
    Reuters video filmed from the nearby village of Marjayoun showed white smoke rising over the area.
    Israeli said earlier on Friday it had intercepted a projectile launched from Lebanon and vowed to respond strongly to protect its security, the latest strains to a shaky truce that ended a year-long war between Israel and Lebanese armed group Hezbollah.
    Defense Minister Israel Katz said Israel holds Lebanon responsible for missile fire on the Galilee area in northern Israel.
    "We will ensure the security of the residents of Galilee and will act forcefully against any threat," he said in a statement.
    A second projectile landed inside Lebanon, the Israeli military said.
    There was no immediate comment from the Lebanon government or from Hezbollah.
    Israeli artillery and airstrikes hit southern Lebanon on Saturday (March 22) after Israel said it intercepted rockets fired from across the border, killing at least eight people.
    Hezbollah denied responsibility for the rocket fired on Saturday, saying it had "no link" to the launches and remained committed to the ceasefire.
