The Israeli military said it targeted installations of Hamas, the Palestinian militant group, in southern Lebanon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several missiles fired by Israeli warplanes struck an open field in the town of Qalili near the Palestinian refugee camp of Rashidiyeh, close to the coastal southern city of Tyre, while others struck a bridge and power transformer in the nearby town of Maaliya and a farm on the outskirts of Rashidiyeh, killing several sheep. No human deaths were reported, Associated Press reported.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Head of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), a peacekeeping force, Maj. Gen. Aroldo L\u00e1zaro, said he was in contact with Israeli and Lebanese authorities early Friday. The UNIFIL said that both sides have said they do not want war, according to Associated Press.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, Israeli air strikes on Gaza resumed early Friday, after militants fired more rockets from the blockaded territory, setting off air raid sirens in the Israeli coastal city of Ashkelon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The current round of violence began Wednesday after Israeli police twice raided the al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem\u2019s Old City. That led Thursday to rocket fire from Gaza and, in a significant escalation, the rocket barrage from Lebanon.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reporting by John Ahmad<\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) \u2013 Israeli military hit on early Friday sites in&nbsp;Lebanon&nbsp;and Gaza Strip, in retaliation for rocket attacks it blamed on the Islamist group Hamas, as tensions following police raids on the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem this week threatened to spiral out of control.
