Lebanon update: Hezbollah claims to have repelled Israeli border crossing attempts | DW News

Fighting continues in southern Lebanon with reports of more rockets fired into Israel by Hezbollah militants.

Explosions have also hit Beirut. The Israeli army says it has hit more than 180 Hezbollah targets in Lebanon in the past 24 hours.

The military also published this video of its troops operating in southern Lebanon. An Israeli commander was reported to have been killed in an exchange of fire. Hezbollah earlier claimed it repelled two attempts by Israeli soldiers to cross into Lebanon.

This comes as Israeli forces have opened a new front in the conflict - along Lebanon's Mediterranean coast.

For more on this, we talk to journalist Karim el-Gawhary, who joins us from Beirut.
