Hezbollah said its fighters clashed with Israeli forces in a town north of the Litani river, a day after Israel’s military said it was expanding its ground operations, reports AFP.

Israel intensified the scope of its strikes on south and east Lebanon on Tuesday despite a ceasefire, killing at least 31 people, Lebanese authorities said, as Hezbollah also kept up its attacks.

In a statement, the resistance group said its fighters “clashed with the enemy forces at point-blank range” with light and medium weapons in the town of Zawtar al-Sharqiyah, on the edge of an Israeli-declared “yellow line” in south Lebanon where its troops have been operating.
