Hezbollah said on Friday (June 13, 2026) its fighters confronted Israeli forces advancing toward the southern Lebanese town of Majdal Zoun, as Israel continued strikes in Lebanon. The group said the clashes took place near the border and the Israeli military issued an evacuation warning for three southern Lebanese villages.
In a statement, Hezbollah said its fighters first targeted Israeli troops advancing toward Majdal Zoun on Thursday (June 11, 2026) evening, about 5 km from the western side of the border, “with repeated rocket barrages, forcing them to retreat.”
Hezbollah added it then engaged an advancing force there on Friday (June 12, 2026), “engaging them with light and medium weapons and rockets.” The group also claimed additional attacks on Israeli troops elsewhere in southern Lebanon.
The Israeli military’s evacuation warning covered three villages in the south, according to the report.
