Hezbollah claims to push back IDF troops advancing on Lebanon border; no comment from military
Hezbollah claims to have fought off a bid by the Israeli army to advance at a border point in southern Lebanon.
The Lebanon-based terror group says it “repelled with artillery fire an attempt by enemy Israeli forces to advance at Fatima’s Gate,” a day after the IDF announced that eight soldiers had been killed in south Lebanon fighting Hezbollah.
Fatima’s Gate is located on the Israel-Lebanon border, near the northern town of Metula.
The IDF does not immediately comment on the claims.
