Hezbollah says still fighting Israeli troops near south Lebanon’s Beaufort castle

Hezbollah said its fighters were still battling Israeli troops near south Lebanon’s Beaufort castle on Monday, a day after Israel said it seized the strategic fortress and troops raised the Israeli flag there.

In a statement issued by Hezbollah‘s operations room, the group said its fighters were in a “battle of attrition against forces of the Israeli enemy army who are present in the area”.
