Plumes of smoke were seen rising from over the hills of Marjayoun in southern Lebanon on Thursday as Hezbollah exchanged fire with Israel following the death of the militant group's senior commander, Mohammed Nasser Nehmeh.

Footage also shows rockets exploding in the sky near the Israeli border, intercepted by the 'Iron Dome' air-defence system.

Hezbollah said in a statement that it had carried out more than 17 drone and 200 rocket attacks targeting several locations, including Ruwaysat al-Alam in the Kafr Shuba hills, as well as barracks in Eilat, Katsavia, Gamla, Nafah and Yarden.

Meanwhile, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it had targeted Hezbollah positions in Houla, Ramiyeh, Qantara, Rab Tlatin, Talusa and Naqoura.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, Hezbollah announced the death of Mohammed Nehmeh Nasser, nicknamed 'Abu Nehme', who was targeted by an airstrike while travelling in a car near southern Lebanon's Tyre, according to the Israeli military.

According to an (IDF) statement, it 'eliminated' Nasser on Wednesday, claiming he was a commander with the 'Hezbollah terrorist organization's Aziz Unit' and directly responsible for attacks on Israeli territory.

"Naser was the counterpart of Sami Taleb Abdullah, the commander of the Nasser Unit, who was eliminated last month. Together, they served as two of the most significant Hezbollah terrorists in southern Lebanon," the statement added.

The exchanging of shells between the IDF and Hezbollah, Lebanese, and Palestinian factions in the border areas started on October 8, one day after the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war on the Gaza Strip.
