Hezbollah claims attack on Israeli troops who had crossed boundary

Lebanon's Hezbollah claimed Monday it had detonated "explosive devices" targeting Israeli soldiers who the group said had crossed into Lebanese territory.

Israel's army said four soldiers were wounded overnight in an explosion "in the area of the northern border". Israeli media reports confirmed the incident happened on the Lebanese side of the frontier.

One of the soldiers was "severely injured" the army said.

Hezbollah fighters "planted explosive devices in the Tal Ismail area" inside Lebanon, detonating them after Israeli soldiers "crossed the border", the group said in a statement.
