Hezbollah said its fighters hit Israeli troops advancing toward Majdal Zoun, about 5 km from the border, with rocket barrages on Thursday evening and fought them again on Friday; it also claimed a drone strike on troops in a building in Chamaa that it said killed an Israeli soldier.
Why it matters
The Israeli military did not confirm a death; the fighting continued as Tehran said the U.S. deal would end the war in Lebanon.
