On the ground, an Israeli surveillance plane fired two missiles on the Kfarshouba village while an Israeli drone targeted a farm in Bastara, where a Lebanese army and UNIFIL patrol were stationed, without causing any injuries. UNIFIL spokesman Andrea Tenenti denied that a patrol had been hit along the Blue Line.
For its part, Hezbollah bombed the Israeli Jal El Alam site, located opposite the Naqoura region. It also announced the death of three of its fighters on Wednesday morning.
