Hezbollah said on Friday (June 13, 2026) its fighters had confronted Israeli forces advancing towards a southern Lebanese town, as Israel pressed on with its strikes in Lebanon.

In a statement, Hezbollah said its fighters first targeted Israeli troops advancing towards Majdal Zoun, around 5 km from the western side of the border, on Thursday (June 11, 2026) evening “with repeated rocket barrages, forcing them to retreat”.

It then said it engaged with an advancing force there on Friday (June 12, 2026) “engaging them with light and medium weapons and rockets”.

The group also claimed other attacks on Israeli troops in southern Lebanon.

The Israeli military meanwhile issued an evacuation warning for three southern Lebanese villages.
