Israeli tanks and other military vehicles were seen being moved north on flatbed trucks on Friday, as tensions continued to escalate at the border with Lebanon.

Footage shows them on the highway towards Kiryat Shmona near the Lebanese border.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged on Wednesday evening to return the residents of northern Israel to their homes, while Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Galant also confirmed the war’s 'centre of gravity' was shifted from the Gaza Strip to the north.

Israel hit targets in Lebanon's border regions on Thursday, which it said focused on '100 rocket launchers', and conducted what it called a 'precision strike' on Beirut on Friday.

On Thursday, Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah warned that this week's mass pager and handheld radio explosions across the country - which the militant group blamed on Israel - had 'crossed red lines' and could be seen as a 'declaration of war'.

The blasts on Tuesday and Wednesday killed 37 and injured nearly 3000, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry. Israel has not commented on those attacks.

Israel and Hezbollah have been exchanging cross-border fire regularly in recent months, with tensions heightened following the outbreak of the Gaza war in October 2023.
