Israeli attacks had claimed 2,309 lives and injured 10,782 people in Lebanon since October of last year, said a statement released on Monday by the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health.
The Israeli military said on Monday it had killed Muhammad Kamal Naim, commander of the anti-tank missile unit under Hezbollah's elite Radwan Force, in an air strike in Nabatieh, southern Lebanon.
On the same day, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said that it had found an underground compound in southern Lebanon that served as a command center for the Radwan Forces, and a lot of combat facilities and equipment were discovered there.
At least 21 people had been killed and eight others injured in an Israeli air strike in Aitou, a predominantly Christian village in northern Lebanon that is far from Hezbollah's stronghold, the Lebanese health ministry said on Monday.
Meanwhile the conflict between Israeli and Hezbollah forces continues to unfold.
Sirens sounded in more than 180 communities in Tel Aviv, the capital city of Israel, and central Israel on Monday afternoon as Lebanon fired three projectiles towards densely populated areas in central Israel.
The Israeli military said that these projectiles had been intercepted, and Israeli warplanes had hit rocket launchers used in the attack.
On the same day, Hezbollah said that it had fired rockets at multiple gathering areas of the Israeli military at the temporary border area between Lebanon and Israel.
Hezbollah militants also clashed with an Israeli trying to advance towards the village of Aita al-Shaab on the southern border of Lebanon and forced the Israeli army to retreat.
The group said it had confronted an Israeli infantry unit attempting to infiltrate Markaba in southern Lebanon.
Meanwhile, Hezbollah launched attacks on three Merkava tanks of the Israeli forces in villages on the southern border of Lebanon, causing casualties of the Israeli military, the group said.

Macao has been emerging as a global hub for conventions and exhibitions in recent years by exploring the enormous opportunities in the sector, driving the region to advance its economic diversification and embrace a brighter future.
Macao has received many awards this year, such as the Best Convention City (Asia) and the Best BT-MICE City, showcasing the recognition for and influence of Macao's exhibition industry.
More than 1,000 electronic game enthusiasts from all over the world gathered recently in Macao to participate in a esports themed event.
Su Zhili, organizer of the event, said that Macao's rich experience in hosting large-scale events, coupled with its good infrastructure, has driven him to choose the region as an ideal destination to hold such an activity.
"Macao has held many similar large-scale events. It has rich experience, and the facilities at the venue are relatively mature, so we can start our work comfortably," said Su.
During the first three quarters of 2024, Macao held more than 1,000 conferences and exhibitions in total.
"We will invite more professional, special conferences to be held in Macao and also cultivate more exhibition brands with international influence in Macao, so as to promote Macao's exhibitions to be more market-oriented, professional, international, digital and greener from various aspects. This is our goal," said Elaine Wong, member of the Macao Commerce and Investment Promotion Institute.
In addition, multiple large exhibitions and conferences, such as the Macao International Trade and Investment fair, the Macao Franchise Expo, and the International Infrastructure Investment and Construction Forum, are held regularly in Macao.
With the introduction of a series of policies and measures to facilitate the exchanges between the mainland and Macao, as well as the construction and development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin, Macao's convention and exhibition industry will embrace more opportunities for development in the foreseeable future.
"We have such a good industrial base in the Greater Bay Area. The mode of 'Convention and Exhibition + Industry' not only integrates the industries of Macao, but also the industries of the Greater Bay Area. In addition, Macao actively integrates into the national development and plays a role in the Belt and Road. Why are we so confident in Macao's convention and exhibition sector? Because it is backed by the motherland, and the country gives Macao great support," said Alan Ho, chairman of the Macao Association of Convention, Exhibition and Tourism Sectors.
