The Israeli military said four of its soldiers were killed in southern Lebanon and six others injured, three of them in serious condition. It provided the names of the four soldiers in a statement, saying they "fell during combat in southern Lebanon" on Wednesday. 


A source close to Hezbollah said a village came under some of the heaviest Israeli fire in a year of confrontations and also denied Israeli troops had managed to establish positions inside Lebanon.


Hezbollah said the Israeli army “has not been able to fully establish its control or completely occupy any village” in southern Lebanon.


The resistance group also said its fighters attacked Israeli troops near the border village of Aitarun and repelled them attempting to infiltrate the area a day earlier


The group also reported multiple new rocket salvos, saying it targeted Israeli soldiers in Misgav Am, the city of Kiryat Shmona, soldiers in Manara and a logistical base affiliated with the Northern Command of the Israeli military located between Nahariya and Acre.


Meanwhile, Hezbollah conducted more operations, targeting Israeli military facilities and settlements with rockets, in retaliation for the regime's deadly airstrikes on Lebanon.
