Lebanese Shiite group "Hezbollah" announced last night that it fired dozens of rockets at positions of the Israeli army in northern Israel, DPA reported, quoted by BTA.

The Islamist group said its attack was in response to Israeli artillery shelling and airstrikes on Lebanese villages.

Israel said there were no casualties or injuries to its soldiers in the attack. Tel Aviv said its warplanes retaliated in the area from where the rockets were fired.

Since the beginning of the war in the Gaza Strip, the pro-Iranian group "Hezbollah" fires rockets, artillery and anti-tank shells from Lebanon at northern Israel.

Nearly 280 fighters of "Hezbollah" have been killed in the exchange of strikes across the Israeli-Lebanese border so far. There are also several victims from the Israeli side.

On Sunday "Hezbollah" managed to shoot down an Israeli drone with a surface-to-air missile and he crashed on Lebanese territory, DPA recalls.

The Palestinian Islamist movement "Hamas" "changes the rules" and is changing its demands in negotiations with Israel to release the hostages, which are being mediated by Egypt and Qatar, US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said, as quoted by Reuters.

The spokesman said at his regular news conference that the US would continue to push for an agreement that would include the release of the hostages taken on October 7 and a pause in the fighting in the Gaza Strip.

Miller added that the US has received a report prepared by former French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna on the activities of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) and is reviewing it.
