Hezbollah targets Israeli troops in Maroun al-Ras and Yaroun

Hezbollah said it shelled Israeli troops in a border area of south Lebanon Friday, in the latest such clash on the frontier.

The group said its fighters targeted "Israeli enemy troops in the Maroun al-Ras plain with artillery".

The group later targeted "an Israeli enemy troop force during its advance" towards an area west of the border village of Yaroun "with artillery shells and a rocket salvo", a statement said, with the group also claiming a series of attacks on Israeli soldiers across the border on Friday.

The Israeli army said Hezbollah launched about 100 rockets into Israel on Friday.

It said its forces had hit more than 2,000 sites during its four-day incursion into southern Lebanon.

"Over 2,000 military targets have been struck," including militants, military buildings, weapons and more, the Israeli military said in a statement.
