By Ben Aris in Berlin Israel has declared a new swathe of southern Lebanon a combat zone and ordered civilians to move north, ignoring the ceasefire deal announced in mid-April as it continues to target Hezbollah.

A video released by Hezbollah on social media that it says shows a night-vision view from a drone targeting an Israeli soldier in southern Lebanon.

"UNIFIL is deeply concerned by the recent escalation in south Lebanon. Ongoing conflict is causing deaths, injuries, and widespread destruction," a statement said.
