WATCH: Hezbollah ‘treads carefully’ as it shells Israeli position

And here’s a video report where our colleague in Lebanon, Zeina Khodr, explains how Hezbollah appears to be treading carefully.

Watch below:

(10:50 GMT)

• Hezbollah claims responsibility for mortar strikes from Lebanon into occupied Shebaa Farms, with Israel saying it has responded with artillery strikes.
• The escalation comes as fears of a ground invasion of Gaza are growing after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatened to turn the besieged Palestinian enclave into a “deserted island” following Hamas’s surprise attack on Saturday.
