Israel and Hezbollah traded fresh cross-border fire as fears of a regional conflict grew after Israel revealed it has approved plans for a Lebanon offensive and the Iran-backed militants vowed to blanket their foe in rockets.

Hezbollah said it fired dozens of rockets into northern Israel on June 21 in retaliation for a deadly air strike in south Lebanon that Israel said killed one of the group's operatives.

It also claimed several other attacks on Israeli troops and positions over the course of the day.

The Israeli military said its jets struck two weapons storage facilities and several other sites belonging to Hezbollah, and that it fired artillery "to remove threats in multiple areas in southern Lebanon".

Just before midnight, the army said it "successfully intercepted a suspicious aerial target that crossed from Lebanon".
