Hezbollah says blast targets Israeli troops on Lebanon border

Hezbollah says it targeted an Israeli unit with an explosive device near a southern border village, as the group clashed with Israeli forces entering Lebanon.

“As the Israeli enemy army tried to sneak around the village of Yaroun… (Hezbollah) fighters surprised them by detonating an explosive device,” the terror group says, reporting Israeli casualties.

The IDF said earlier that troops were engaged in close-quarters combat with Hezbollah operatives in southern Lebanon, and that at least one soldier had been killed.
