Israeli aircraft struck two Hezbollah cells inside Lebanon early on Monday, the country’s military has said, marking the latest in a series of exchanges across the shared border amid the conflict in Gaza.
Israel said one cell was located near the Israeli border town of Mattat, while the other was in the disputed Shebaa Farms region.
It said both cells had been hit before they were able to carry out planned launches of anti-tank missiles and rockets toward Israel.
Lebanon’s state-run news agency NNA reported an Israeli air strike on the outskirts of Aitaroun, a village in southern Lebanon that sits around 13km (eight miles) north east of Mattat. It was not immediately clear whether it was referring to the same incident.
There were no immediate reports of anyone being injured in the strikes.
