Hezbollah claimed an attack on Israeli troops in northern Israel on Wednesday as Israeli and Lebanese officials began a second day of direct talks in Washington that Hezbollah opposes.

In a statement, Hezbollah said that "in response to the Israeli enemy army's violation of the cease-fire," its fighters targeted "a gathering of Israeli enemy army soldiers" in northern Israel with a rocket barrage.

Israeli officials have warned the military will strike Beirut's southern suburbs if the Iran-backed group launches projectiles targeting Israeli communities in the north, a stance they say has backing from Washington.
