STORYLINE:
Mourners attended on Sunday the funeral of a naval officer killed in northern Israel.
Petty officer 1st Class David Moshe Ben Shirit was laid to rest at the military cemetery on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem.
Relatives and friends broke down in tears as they paid their last respects to the 21-year-old soldier.
The naval officer was killed after Israel and the Lebanese militant group traded heavy fire early Sunday.
Both sides signaled their most intense exchange of fire in months was over.
Israel said no military target was hit but one soldier with the navy was killed and two others were wounded either by an interceptor for incoming fire, or by shrapnel from one.
Two Hezbollah fighters and a militant from an allied group were killed, the groups said.
Hezbollah claimed to hit an Israeli military intelligence site near Tel Aviv in a barrage of hundreds of rockets and drones.
Israel claimed its strike had been preemptive to avert a larger attack.
Neither side offered evidence.
The cross-border attack came as high-level talks resumed in Egypt aimed at a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas in the war in Gaza that also would ease regional tensions.
Hezbollah began attacking Israel almost immediately after the start of the war in Gaza, which was triggered by Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack into southern Israel.
Israel and Hezbollah have exchanged fire almost daily, displacing tens of thousands of people on both sides of the border.
