Fighters from the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement have thwarted an Israeli military incursion into the southern part of Lebanon, amid strikes by the group against the regime’s positions, in response to the ongoing Israeli genocidal campaign in the besieged Gaza Strip, reports Press TV.
Lebanon’s Arabic-language al-Manar television channel, citing a Hezbollah statement, reported that the group had targeted a gathering of Israeli forces stationed at an outpost in the town of Zar'it, close to the border with Lebanon, early on Monday.
A number of the soldiers were injured as a result, it added.
The statement also said that the troops were preparing to carry out an offensive against an area in southern Lebanon.
The development came hours after Hezbollah announced in a separate statement that it had launched a heavy-caliber Burkan (Volcano) missile at 4:45 pm on Sunday, targeting a gathering of Israeli soldiers at the Hadab al-Bustan site.
There were casualties among the forces, it claimed.
