Israel and Hezbollah continue to trade attacks ahead of Washington talks

Washington [US], May 15: Fighting between Israel and Hezbollah continued on the ground in Lebanon as Israeli and Lebanese officials were set to meet in Washington later on Thursday for further US-mediated talks.
Hours before the two-day talks were due to kick off, Israel carried out several attacks in southern Lebanon, injuring at least nine in the town of Zibqin, near the coastal city of Tyre, Lebanon's state news agency NNA reported.
Further casualties were reported following an Israeli attack on the town of Aitit. Iran-backed Hezbollah, which is not part of the Washington talks, also claimed responsibility on Thursday morning for attacks on Israeli positions in Lebanon. (DPA)
