Hezbollah claims missile strikes on Israeli armoured vehicles near Lebanon border

Hezbollah says it carried out a series of missile strikes targeting Israeli army armoured vehicles at multiple locations along the Israel–Lebanon frontier.

According to a statement from the Lebanese armed group, the attacks struck Israeli armoured vehicles moving from the Wadi al-Asafir area toward Al-Hara, south of the Lebanese border town of Al-Khiam. Hezbollah also said it targeted the Al-Malikiyah military facility in northern Israel, Caliber.Az reports via Jahan Tasnim on Telegram. 

The organisation claimed the strikes forced Israeli forces in the area to withdraw.

Hezbollah added that a third missile attack targeted Israeli armoured vehicles at a recently established Israeli military position near the Lebanese town of Markaba, close to the border.
