The report clarified that the Civil Defence teams were trying to extinguish fires caused by Israeli shelling.
In a related development, the agency reported that Israeli forces targeted the town of Chihine in the western sector of the border with two guided missiles.
Fears of a full-fledged war between Israel and Hezbollah have grown amid an exchange of cross-border attacks, especially after the 30 July assassination of senior Hezbollah Commander, Fouad Shukr in Beirut.
The escalation comes against the backdrop of a deadly Israeli onslaught on Gaza which has killed over 40,200 people since last October following an attack by the Palestinian Resistance group, Hamas.
