Throughout the day, Hezbollah says it targeted Israeli troops several times with rockets, artillery strikes and drones, as well as firing at communities in Israel's north.
Israel, meanwhile, is expanding its military occupation of southern Lebanon, where it says its military is engaged in fierce battle with Hezbollah fighters.
Lebanese officials say Israel has demolished more than 40,000 homes in the south, seizing land for what Israel calls a buffer zone to keep Hezbollah from firing rockets into northern Israel.
The Lebanese government wants a ceasefire, but Israel won't agree until Hezbollah disarms.
It's a longstanding Israeli demand, which the Lebanese government has been unable to enforce in the past.

Lebanon's Ministry of Health says 97 people were killed by Israeli strikes, mainly in the south, on Saturday alone, including three emergency workers.
Meanwhile, Hezbollah says it has continued attacks on northern Israel and Israeli troops inside Lebanon.
Israel says it struck more than 200 Hezbollah targets over the weekend.
Israel and Lebanon's ambassadors to the U.S.
are set to meet in Washington to discuss a ceasefire.
But at a Hezbollah rally in downtown Beirut Saturday, supporters filled the streets for blocks, waving flags and chanting against negotiations.
Many said that after the Israeli attacks last week, which killed more than 350 people in a single day, they don't trust the talks will benefit them.

Yeah, so Emily's experience was back in late January.
She was out driving around her neighborhood in Minneapolis patrolling for ICE as a constitutional observer.
I'll just say we're only IDing Emily by her first name because she fears retribution from the federal government.
She told me she was following an ICE vehicle at a safe distance into a parking lot when a masked agent leaned out the window, took a picture of her and her license plate, and then โ
rolled down the window and addressed Emily by name and recited her home address to her.
You know, Emily told us that it really shook her.
