Hezbollah repells two more incursion attempts as Israeli soldiers raise flag in town near Irish troops [Video]

LAST UPDATE | 14 hrs ago

HEZBOLLAH HAS SAID its fighters repelled two Israeli army attempted icursions into southern Lebanon, as Israel intensifies its ground invasion of its northern neighbour.

In two separate statements, the Lebanese group said Israeli troops had tried to enter border areas near Blida in the southeast and Labouneh in the southwest, but were driven back.

Also this morning, the Israeli military said it intercepted two projectiles fired from Lebanon shortly after air raid sirens blared in and around the coastal town of Caesarea, south of Haifa, the city which was the target of a major rocket attack yesterday.

Sirens also sounded elsewhere in northern Israel, a day after the army said the Iran-backed Hezbollah militant group had fired 180 projectiles into Israel, mainly at Haifa and the north.
