JERUSALEM
The Israeli army on Tuesday said it hit two targets inside the Lebanese territory, including a military post of the Hezbollah group.
In a statement, the army said its artillery shelled a cell belonging to the Hezbollah group as they tried to fire an anti-tank guided missile toward Israeli territory.
In an earlier statement, the army said it also struck a Hezbollah post but didn't give further details.
Hezbollah is yet to comment on the Israeli army's statements.
The death toll of the Hezbollah fighters killed by the Israeli forces since Oct. 8 has risen to 63, according to a statement by the group.
Tension has flared along the border between Israel and Lebanon amid intermittent exchange of fire between Israeli forces and Hezbollah since the start of the Gaza war on Oct. 7.
