Israeli troops in Lebanon to react 'if under threat'

Israeli soldiers are free to act without restriction to eliminate threats in Lebanon, Israeli Defence Minister Israel ‌Katz says, adding troops remain in position in what Israel refers to as a security zone.

A ceasefire with Iran-backed Hezbollah took effect on Friday after months of escalating violence but on Saturday Israeli strikes killed at least 20 people in Lebanon, Lebanon's state news agency NNA reported.

Israel said the strikes were a response to projectiles fired by the ‌Iran-backed group at ‌its troops ⁠in southern Lebanon, prompting attacks on what an Israeli official described as "Hezbollah targets".
