Lebanon’s military said Wednesday an Israeli military force breached the border, reaching 400 meters (about a quarter of a mile) into Lebanese territory before withdrawing.

“An Israeli enemy force breached the Blue Line by approximately 400 meters into Lebanese territory in the areas of Khirbet Yaroun and the Aadeyseh, then withdrew after a short period,” the army said.

The Blue Line is a reference to the demarcation border area that separates Israel and Lebanon.

CNN has reached out to the Israel Defense Forces for comment.

The IDF also released a photo of its troops inside Lebanon that CNN has geolocated to be inside southern Lebanon.

Overnight, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it stopped around 30 rockets which had been fired into northern Israel.

Iran-backed group in Iraq says it launched drones at Israel​

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq group says it launched drones at three targets in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights in the early hours, according to a statement shared by Hezbollah.

The group is allied to Hezbollah and other Iran-backed groups opposed to Israel in the region. They sometimes refer to themselves as the Axis of Resistance.

The IDF has not commented on the report and it is not clear if it caused any damage.

At least six people have been injured after Hezbollah fired a barrage of rockets into the city of Haifa in northern Israel late Sunday.

The Iran-backed militant group said in a statement that it had launched the rockets at Israel’s Carmel military base, while Israeli authorities reported rockets and shrapnel dropping around the city.

Haifa’s Rambam Hospital said it was treating six people who were injured in the barrage. It described one of them as “lightly to moderately injured” and four of them as “lightly injured” due to shrapnel. Another person was suffering anxiety, it said, adding that all the injured were conscious.

Israel’s Magen David Adom emergency services said separately that it had treated two people at the scene — a 13-year-old boy with a head injury caused by shrapnel and a 22-year-old man who was hit by a window that fell due to the blast.

This appears to be the first time rockets have actually struck Haifa during the latest conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.

Debris and shrapnel have been reported by police and bomb disposal experts in two primary areas, according to the police.

The Israel Defense Forces said earlier that it had spotted five projectiles fired toward the city and tried to intercept them, but several of the rockets landed.

Israeli officials say Hezbollah fired more than 100 rockets across the border Sunday. Israel continued with its extensive bombing campaign on southern Beirut and surrounding areas in Lebanon, which has killed more than 1,400 people over the past two weeks, according to Lebanese authorities.

CNN’s Jeremy Diamond contributed to this report.

The Israeli military called for more evacuations in southern Lebanon late Sunday after pounding southern Beirut and surrounding areas with some of its most intense bombing of the current campaign against Hezbollah, the Iran-backed militant group.

The announcement echoed a series of previous warnings, now affecting a total of 124 villages, as Israel says it is striking Hezbollah targets embedded in civilian areas. That has forced hundreds of thousands of Lebanese people to flee the onslaught, and more than 1,400 have been killed so far, according to the Lebanese health ministry.

Meanwhile, Israeli officials have vowed retaliation for Iran’s largest-ever attack on the country — a missile barrage launched last Tuesday — and have begun a new military operation in northern Gaza, where the Israel Defense Forces says it saw signs of Hamas regrouping.
