IMAGES - Hezbollah quells infiltrating “Israeli” unit after laying ambush

Lebanese group Hezbollah said Wednesday its fighters were clashing with “Israeli” troops who infiltrated a southern border village, after it said earlier it had repelled an attempted infiltration elsewhere.

Hezbollah "is engaged in clashes with the Israeli enemy's soldiers who infiltrated the village of Maroun al-Ras from the east", the statement said, adding that the clashes were "ongoing".

According to reports, the “Israeli” unit infiltrated the Al-Adaysseh area early Wednesday morning, falling into an ambush set by Hezbollah’s elite Radwan unit.

The Radwan forces engaged the “Israeli” troops in close-quarter combat, forcing them to retreat while carrying their wounded.

The Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) also said in a statement that “Israeli” soldiers made a “brief incursion” into the south. 

Earlier on Wednesday, Hezbollah launched over 100 rockets towards occupied Palestine.

“Israeli” helicopters from the 669 rescue unit evacuated numerous wounded personnel from the border area with Lebanon, according to Hebrew media, which described the situation as a "severe incident" on the border.
