The Israeli military has said that it has struck “two terrorist cells” and a Hezbollah post in response to attempted firing from Lebanon as cross-border shelling continued, Reuters reports.

“In response to two terrorist cells attempting to fire from Lebanon toward Israeli territory, the IDF (army) struck the cells and a Hezbollah observation post,” a military statement said.

It said it had also responded to mortar fire from Lebanon into northern Israel, where no casualties were reported.

In his first speech since the Israel-Hamas war broke out four weeks ago, Nasrallah warned that “all options” were open for an expansion of the conflict to Lebanon as he blamed the United States for the war in Gaza.
