Hezbollah says it has carried out a series of attacks on Israeli forces and sites in northern Israel and along the border with southern Lebanon, reports Al Jazeera.

In a statement, Hezbollah said explosive devices targeting Israeli forces were deployed near the town of Shamaa in southern Lebanon, and later fired on what it described as a rescue force arriving at the scene.

It also said it launched rocket attacks targeting Israeli army positions and gatherings near the town of Ainata, as well as areas east of the Khiam detention centre.

The group further reported firing rockets towards the northern Israeli towns of Nahariya and Metula, and said it targeted the Meron air operations command and control base in northern Israel.
