The Israeli military said on Tuesday that intense fighting with Hezbollah was taking place in southern Lebanon, spokesperson Avichay Adraee posted on X.
The military issued a warning to citizens not to move in their vehicles from the northern area to the southern area of the Litani river.
Meanwhile, Hezbollah says it has targeted Israeli troop movements in northern Israel after Israel announced the start of a “limited” cross-border ground operation.
The Iran-backed group targeted “a movement of enemy soldiers in Metula with artillery shells”, then a “gathering of enemy soldiers” in the same area with rockets.
Hezbollah said it also targeted Israeli troops in Avivim on the other side of the border with artillery.
