Hezbollah claims it has carried out a series of attacks targeting Israeli forces across southern Lebanon, Al Jazeera reports.

The group claims it launched a “wide-scale fire raid” overnight on Israeli military positions across southern Lebanon, adding that the attack followed Israeli drone strikes and “heavy missile barrages” on Dibil, Rashaf and areas around Hadatha, which it says killed and wounded civilians.

The group further claims it targeted Israeli soldiers near Deir Siryan with artillery shells and rockets this morning, later targeting Israeli soldiers and vehicles in Qouzah with artillery.
