Hezbollah and Israel exchange hostilities as two Lebanese troops hurt in Israeli strike
Hezbollah on Monday claimed a series of attacks on Israeli military targets in south Lebanon that it said were in response to "the Israeli enemy's violation of the ceasefire."
The state-run National News Agency (NNA) meanwhile reported Israeli air strikes on more than 20 south Lebanon locations, some of them towns where the Israeli military earlier Monday told residents to evacuate.
Lebanon's army said that "an officer and a soldier were lightly wounded" in an Israeli strike on the town of Kafra "while they were travelling in a military vehicle between army posts."
According to Lebanon's health ministry, Israeli strikes since March 2 when the latest war erupted with Hezbollah have killed nearly 2,700 people and wounded more than 8,200.
Under the ceasefire, Israel reserves the right to act against "planned, imminent or ongoing attacks".
