The Lebanese group says it carried out an attack on the Zabadin barracks in the Israeli-occupied territory, Al Jazeera reports.

A statement on Telegram said the rocket attack took place at 5:30am local time (02:30 GMT).

Hezbollah has intensified its attacks on Israeli troops during their ongoing incursion into southern Lebanon, with helicopters ferrying the wounded to a hospital in northern Israel.

The group’s fighters “targeted at 10:10am [07:10 GMT] … a gathering of Israeli enemy forces in the village of Maroun al-Ras with artillery shells”, Hezbollah said in a statement.
