STORYLINE:
Israeli tanks could be seen on Thursday driving through destroyed buildings across the border inside Lebanon.

On Thursday, U.N. peacekeepers in southern Lebanon said they had seen and heard clashes, including ground combat, as more Israeli forces moved across the border.

“Ground combat was observed west of Kfar Kila,” a village near the border with Israel, overnight, and this included the “firing of shots,” said Tilak Pokharel, spokesperson for the mission known as UNIFIL.

In the town of Khiyam, about 5 kilometers (3 miles) from the Israeli border, he said, peacekeepers saw “air attacks and flares and heard explosions.”

After the attacks by the U.S. and Israel on Iran triggered a new war in the Middle East, Hezbollah launched missiles and drones into Israel on Monday for the first time in over a year, and Israel has retaliated with bombardment of southern Lebanon and Beirut’s southern suburbs.

The conflict had claimed 102 lives and forced the displacement of more than 83,000 people in Lebanon before Thursday's evacuation order.
