Hezbollah and Israel have traded fire on a near-daily basis along the border since the start of Israel-Hamas war nearly seven months ago.
Egypt sent a high-level delegation to Israel on Friday for talks seeking to push through a cease-fire agreement with Hamas and avert an Israeli offensive on the Gaza Strip city of Rafah, officials said.
The Israeli military has massed dozens of tanks and armored vehicles in the area in what appears to be preparations for an invasion of the city.
The Israel-Hamas war was sparked by the unprecedented October 7th Hamas massacre of more than 1200 Israeli men, women and children. About 250 hostages were also taken. Israel says about 100 are still being held, along with the remains of 30 others.
