Hezbollah said Wednesday its fighters were engaged in clashes with a force of Israeli soldiers that repeatedly tried to advance from the southern border town of Rshaf towards Haddatha.

The group said in a statement that the Israeli force had tried to enter Haddatha three times in one week amid fierce resistance.

Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri postponed Wednesday a parliamentary session that was scheduled for Thursday to discuss the amnesty draft law, after "sectarian" protests across Lebanon.

"Despite the efforts made by the parliamentary departments and joint committees to reach a national consensus (on the amnesty law), it has been decided to postpone tomorrow’s session to another date," Berri's office said, adding that Lebanon needs now solidarity and consensus "more than ever".

Prime Minister Nawaf Salam said the Lebanese government "is moving forward with steady steps and will not back down from any decision it takes to rescue the country from the crises it is floundering in."

In remarks published Wednesday in the Kuwaiti newspaper al-Anbaa, Salam reiterated his commitment to the Taif Accord and the ministerial statement.

The death toll of an Israeli airstrike on the village of Deir Qanoun al-Nahr rose Wednesday to 12, including four women and three children of the same family and a Syrian national.

Three were wounded, including a child.

An Israeli strike on several houses in the southern town of Dweir killed five people Wednesday and wounded two others.

Two other people were killed in a strike on Tebnine, and several were wounded across south Lebanon, despite the truce.

The Israeli army struck overnight into Wednesday several southern towns and villages including Jebshit, Habboush, Kherbet Selem, Kafra, and Toura, as Hezbollah reported clashes with Israeli troops in southern Lebanon despite a truce.

Hezbollah said its fighters "clashed.. with a force of the Israeli enemy army that tried to advance towards the vicinity of the town square of Haddatha," and targeted soldiers and equipment in the border towns of Bayyada and Rshaf.

The continued Israeli escalation in southern Lebanon will jeopardize the negotiations with Israel, a Lebanese official warned on Tuesday.

"The continued violations will either lead to us not participating in the negotiations or to our participation with the sole condition of a ceasefire," the official told Al-Jazeera.

MP Mohammad Raad has lamented that "the reality confirmed by the rounds of direct negotiations between Lebanon and the enemy (Israel) is that the ruling authorities have practically adopted the occupation's narrative against the resistance."

Prime Minister Nawaf Salam has stated that there is "increased American involvement in the efforts to solidify the ceasefire."

Hezbollah MP Hassan Fadlallah warned Tuesday that his group would fight any army unit formed by the U.S. and Israel to counter the resistance.

"If Israel and the U.S. manage to form a collaborator army to fight the Resistance, we will fight it just like we fight Israel," Fadlallah said in a press conference, as he warned against free "gifts" to the U.S.
