Hezbollah targets Israeli troops in south Lebanon

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 group said in a statement.

Hezbollah also ambushed Israeli troops near the nearby village of KfarKila on Monday. The Iran-backed group said it "ambushed... the Israeli enemy's vehicles and soldiers as they advanced towards" the outskirts of the border village of KfarKila ahead of deadly clashes.

It had earlier claimed four attacks with rockets and artillery on Israeli troops at Fatima's Gate, a shuttered border crossing in Kfarkila.
