Hezbollah Clashes With Israeli Military At The Naqurara Lebanese Border

JAKARTA - Hezbollah fighters clashed with the Israeli military near the border town of Naqura in southern Lebanon.

"There was a shootout between the enemy and the resistance group (Hezbollah) in the Al-Labbouneh area near the city of Naqura," the Lebanese National News Agency (NNA) reported by CNN, Wednesday, October 9.

Hezbollah previously said its troops managed to repulse Israeli attacks on the region at around 5 a.m. local time.

The Islamic Resistance Mujahidin targeted them with artillery shells and rockets and carried out direct attacks, leading them to retreat, the group said.

The Israeli military told CNN there was an ongoing counter-terrorism activity in Lebanon but had not yet commented on the incident specifically.

On Tuesday, the Israeli military said it had expanded its operations to southwest Lebanon.

Landstrikes in southern Lebanon, which began on October 1, previously focused on the eastern part of the border region.
