The Israeli military says the attacks are a response to Hezbollah's "repeated violations" of the ceasefire. The Shiite militia, in turn, says there are intense clashes in the area, AP reports.

Israel's occupation of southern Lebanon and continued attacks on Iran-backed Hezbollah have been one of the biggest stumbling blocks in negotiations between the US and Iran to reach an agreement.

In parallel with the new attacks, Switzerland, where continued talks between the parties were due to begin on Friday, announced that today's negotiations are being canceled.

According to the pro-Iranian, Hezbollah-allied Lebanese news agency al-Mayadeen, Israel's continued attacks on Lebanon are the reason Iran is delaying sending its delegation to Switzerland.
