Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the Lebanese border on Sunday as the Israeli military continued to the country’s south.
“Netanyahu visited the Lebanon border today,” his office said in a statement, his second such visit to the frontier in less than a month.
During the visit, Netanyahu said that with or without an agreement, Israel must keep Hezbollah beyond the Litani River, as designated in UN resolution 1701, local media said.
Netanyahu’s visit came as more than 100 projectiles were fired from Lebanon into Israeli territory on Sunday, the military said.
Several of these projectiles were intercepted by the air force, while some fell in unpopulated areas, the military added.
Meanwhile, Israel continued its bombardment of Hezbollah, with its strikes killing 31 persons across the northern areas of Gaza Strip, Palestinian medics said.
Medics said at least 13 Palestinians were killed in separate attacks on houses in Beit Lahiya town and Jabalia, the largest of the enclave’s eight historic refugee camps and the focus of the army’s new offensive.
The rest were killed in separate Israeli airstrikes in Gaza City and in southern areas, including one in Khan Younis, which health officials said had killed eight people, including four children.
Another nine persons were killed in Khan Younis, including seven members of the same family, Al Jazeera said
Lebanon’s health ministry had said an Israeli strike killed three people near the southern city of Sidon as more bombs fell in the country’s east, after Israel issued an evacuation warning.
