Hezbollah claims to repel Israeli troops in south Lebanon
The Lebanese armed group said on Telegram that its fighters launched artillery and rockets at invading Israeli troops in southwest Lebanon. The attacks in the Labbouneh area forced the Israeli troops to retreat, the group said.
Earlier, Hezbollah said its fighters had clashed with Israeli troops in the Lebanese town of Blida. The group says Israel’s military – which has launched a fourth division of troops to south Lebanon – has not been able to advance since they launched the ground operation a week ago.
Israel’s military has meanwhile said three of its soldiers have been seriously wounded in fighting in southern Lebanon over the past two days.

Israel is not letting up its aerial bombardment across this 120km (50-mile) long border region. We’ve seen a series of air and drone strikes overnight in the Bekaa Valley with two more just moments ago.
We’ve also been hearing ground battles are taking place between Hezbollah and Israeli troops in Naqoura and Labbouneh – two towns close to the border with Israel. Hezbollah says it repelled Israeli soldiers back to their side.
The Israeli army has taken losses. At 03:15 GMT it issued a statement saying three of its soldiers were seriously wounded during fighting. This is the first time a reserve brigade recently called up has been on the ground in Lebanon. This is a problem if they’re already sustaining casualties.
