Israeli army claims targeting Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon

JERUSALEM (AA) - The Israeli military claimed on Monday it targeted Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon overnight.

A military statement said Israeli warplanes hit Hezbollah targets in Blida, Jebbayn, and Odaisseh, adding that a reconnaissance site in Chihine was also targeted.

There was no immediate comment from Hezbollah but the group and Israeli military have exchanged fire across Lebanon's southern border in parallel with the Gaza war, in the deadliest clashes since their full-scale war in 2006.

In a televised address last week, Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said the group would continue fighting as long as Israel continued its assault on Gaza, where more than 35,000 Palestinians have been killed since last October.
