BEIRUT: Hezbollah on Saturday said its fighters confronted overnight Israeli forces as they tried to infiltrate toward strategic hills that overlook the southern city of Nabatieh.

“Again, under the cover of the ceasefire, the enemy last night carried out an infiltration attempt toward the Ali Taher hills,” the Iran-backed group said in a statement, adding that fighters ambushed the Israeli troops and “confronted them with appropriate weapons.”
