  The Israeli army this morning gave an update on fighting in the past 24 hours, saying it hit approximately 185 Hezbollah targets in Lebanon.

  In a statement, the Israel Defense Forces says its soldiers engaged in "close-quarter encounters" with Hezbollah fighters on the ground in southern Lebanon, as well as carrying out more air strikes.

  During the on-the-ground fighting, an Israeli commander was killed in an exchange of fire, the IDF says.

  As a reminder, Hezbollah earlier claimed it has repelled Israeli incursions in eastern and western parts of the Lebanese border.

  The IDF also says it targeted 45 Hamas sites in the Gaza Strip in the past 24 hours.
