Hezbollah said Saturday that it had repelled two Israeli ground incursions and carried out 19 attacks targeting Israeli troops, military vehicles and positions in southern Lebanon using drones, rockets and artillery, Anadolu reports.
The group said in a series of statements that its fighters detected an Israeli infantry force attempting to infiltrate the Maabar area on the outskirts of Kfartibnit in the Nabatieh governorate under hours of artillery and smoke cover.
Hezbollah said it lured the force into a pre-prepared ambush zone, detonated explosive devices, engaged the troops with medium-range weapons and then shelled the area with concentrated artillery fire, forcing the Israeli unit to withdraw.
In a separate statement, Hezbollah said another Israeli force entered the town of Majdal Zoun in the South governorate. It said its fighters engaged the troops with light and medium weapons as well as rockets, destroying several accompanying military vehicles.
