The Israeli military clashed with Hezbollah forces in southern Lebanon, advancing beyond the security zone as Prime Minister Netanyahu said troops were seizing strategic areas.
Despite a fragile US-brokered ceasefire, both sides have accused each other of violations, with Israel pounding Lebanon with over 120 airstrikes that killed at least 10 people.
Hezbollah had carried out strikes on Israeli troops and sites in northern Israel, prompting Netanyahu to say the military was fortifying the security strip to protect northern communities.
