Israel's diplomatic missions and embassies across the world went on alert on Sunday following a raid by the Jewish state on a Hezbollah post in the border town of Janta.

Israel has reportedly raised security level at its embassies and diplomatic missions around the world fearing a possible retaliation by Hezbollah, Israel's Yedioth Ahronoth daily reported.

Israeli jets on Monday struck a Hezbollah position near the Lebanese-Syrian border.

The party acknowledged the strike on Wednesday, saying that it targeted a Hezbollah position near the Jinta region in the Bekaa.

It vowed that it will choose the appropriate time and place to retaliate to the attack.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights activist group said Israeli warplanes bombed a rocket launcher for Hezbollah fighters near the villages of Janta and Yahfoufa along the border.

Lebanon's Ambassador to the U.N., Nawaf Salam, filed a complaint to the United Nations Security Council over the raid at Foreign Minister Jebran Bassil's request.
