Hezbollah claimed responsibility on Monday for a strike that Israel said wounded four soldiers in the country's north, the latest cross-border fire in more than seven months of clashes.
Hezbollah fighters fired "a guided missile" at an Israeli Merkava tank across the border on Monday morning, destroying it "after closely monitoring the Israeli’s movements," the Iran-backed group said in a statement.
For its part, the Israeli Army said "two anti-tank missiles" crossed from Lebanon into the area of Yiftah, a kibbutz community less than two kilometers (1.2 miles) from the border. The missiles wounded four Israeli soldiers, the Army said, one of them moderately and the rest lightly.
Earlier on Monday, Hezbollah said it launched "a swarm of explosive drones" targeting tents and "sleeping quarters" for an Israeli artillery battalion. The Israeli Army said the attack caused no casualties and reported that one drone that crossed from Lebanon fell in a different area.
Earlier on Monday morning, an Israeli airstrike hit the town of Shihine while some residents were inspecting their homes and working on transporting some of their belongings in coordination with UNIFIL forces and with the support of a Lebanese Army patrol.
Additionally, the Israeli artillery has targeted the outskirts of the town of Mays Al-Jabal while conducting reconnaissance of the area with machine guns.
