The son of Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has been wounded in fighting on the Lebanon border, Israeli news portal Ynet reports. According to the outlet, the wound was minor, and the Israel Defense Forces soldier's life is not in danger.

On March 5, Hezbollah fighters struck the Rafael defense complex south of Acre with rockets, in what the movement described as retaliation "for Israeli aggression targeting dozens of Lebanese cities and towns, including the southern suburbs of Beirut."

On the night of March 4, Al Jazeera, citing Hezbollah, reported a missile attack on an Israeli naval base in Haifa. Several rockets were also fired toward the community of Kfar Yuval, where a group of Israeli soldiers was located.
