Hezbollah said it launched over 320 rockets, targeting Israeli military positions.

According to Israel's military, one Israeli navy soldier was killed.

Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah said they don’t seek full-scale war.

So, the army said, it attacked half an hour beforehand with 100 Israeli jets.

Israel said it hit thousands of Hezbollah rocket launchers.

Lebanon’s NNA news agency reported one person was critically injured.
