Israel’s military claims it has carried out an attack on two Hezbollah fighters in Lebanon’s Ali al-Taher area, Al Jazeera reports.

In a statement, the military claims the fighters were located near Israel’s “security zone” in southern Lebanon, posing “an immediate” threat to Israeli soldiers.

“Immediately after the identification, the air force and ground forces struck the terrorists to remove the threat.”

The Israeli military will “continue to operate to remove immediate threats”, it says.
