Targeting Israeli forces in south Lebanon, according to Hezbollah

Hezbollah said its fighters targeted Israeli soldiers in south Lebanon on Monday, after earlier claiming repeated attacks on troops in the same area near the border.

Hezbollah fighters targeted “an Israeli enemy troop gathering” near Wazzani village “with a rocket salvo,” the Iran-backed group said in a statement, after earlier claiming four attacks with rockets and artillery on Israeli troops at Fatima’s Gate, a shuttered border crossing at the nearby Lebanese village of Kfar Kila.

Later on Monday, Hezbollah said it “ambushed… the Israeli enemy’s vehicles and soldiers as they advanced towards” the outskirts of the border village of Kfar Kila ahead of deadly clashes.
