0300 GMT — Iran, Israel swap threats; Hezbollah repels Tel Aviv ground raid
Hezbollah has said it clashed with Israeli soldiers who tried to invade into Lebanon, and also targeted Israeli troops across the border, according to statements from the group.
Hezbollah also said its fighters targeted “a large infantry force” in Misgav Am across the border with “rockets and artillery”, as well as troop gatherings in three other locations, one with Burkan rockets.
In Iran, its chief of staff has vowed to hit infrastructure across Israel if its territory is attacked after Tehran fired around 200 missiles at its arch-foe, which is carrying out its war in besieged Gaza and striking Lebanon relentlessly.
The barrage “will be repeated with bigger intensity and all infrastructure of the regime will be targeted,” Major General Mohammad Bagheri said on state TV.
Bagheri said Tehran showed restraint after US and EU promised Gaza ceasefire following Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh’s assassination, adding “the situation was no longer tolerable” after Israel killed Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah and Iranian Brigadier General Abbas Nilforoushan.
