15 Hezbollah militants killed in Israeli airstrike

BEIRUT — Israel's military said it had killed 15 Hezbollah militants in an airstrike on southern Lebanon, as the Iran-backed movement said it thwarted an Israeli advance at the border.

Israel announced this week that its troops had started 'ground raids' into parts of southern Lebanon, a stronghold of Hezbollah, after days of heavy bombardment on areas across the country where the group holds sway.
