Israeli ground op in south Lebanon: latest developments

Hezbollah said its fighters fired artillery rounds at Israeli troops attempting an "infiltration" into south Lebanon on Monday, while also targeting soldiers elsewhere.

"During an enemy infantry force's attempted infiltration into Lebanese territory" near the border village of Markaba, Hezbollah fighters targeted the force "with artillery shells," a statement said, adding fighters targeted soldiers elsewhere with rockets, including in south Lebanon's Labbouneh area.

Hezbollah also shelled Israeli troops inside the south border village of Maroun al-Ras on Monday, after earlier saying it targeted Israeli soldiers elsewhere along the border.

Hezbollah fighters targeted "a gathering of Israeli enemy soldiers in the south of Maroun al-Ras with artillery shells," a statement from the Lebanese group said.

Hezbollah's fighters were also battling Israeli troops inside Aita al-Shaab.

Hezbollah fighters "are engaged in violent clashes with the Israeli enemy forces... in the village of Aita al-Shaab with... machine guns, rockets and artillery shells," the group said, later adding it targeted an "Israeli troop carrier with a guided missile" in the village.
