The Israeli army claims to have killed seven Hezbollah members who allegedly transferred weapons near soldiers in southern Lebanon, Al Jazeera reports.

In a statement on Telegram, the army claims it struck the alleged fighters near the so-called “security zone” in the al-Manzala area that was used as a “combat and observation post”.

The “security zone” is an area of southern Lebanon that Israeli forces are occupying north of the Israeli border.
