- South Lebanon: One Dead in an Israeli Strike on Kounin
Violence resumed on Sunday afternoon on the southern front between Hezbollah and Israel when a car in the town of Kounin in the area of Bint Jbeil was targeted by an Israeli drone strike. The attack resulted in the death of the driver and left one person wounded, according to certain media.
The Israeli army claimed responsibility for the attack and pointed out that "it was a Hezbollah commander, Ismail al-Zein, who was killed in the strike on Kounin." It said that "the targeted person worked as a computer specialist in Hezbollah's communication services."
Israeli bombardments also targeted Mays al-Jabal, the western outskirts of Wazzani, Hamames hill, Kfar Kila, Khiam, Wadi el-Salouki and the locality of Rab al-Thalatheen, where a house was completely razed to the ground.
For its part, Hezbollah announced that one of its senior members was killed in the raid on Kounin.
It also claimed in statements to have targeted several Israeli positions, including Malkiya and Zebdin in the Shebaa farms, Rouwaisat el-Alam in the Kfarchouba hills, the Ramim barracks, the new Bakhta artillery position and a gathering of soldiers near the Shebaa farms, inflicting direct casualties.
In addition, Hezbollah announced that it had "targeted and destroyed spy equipment at the Al-Jarda point with appropriate weapons."
In the morning, the outskirts of Alma al-Shaab, in the western sector, were also bombed.
A state of cautious calm prevailed in the border area in the eastern sector of South Lebanon this morning, from the Majidiyeh plain, Ghajar and the town of al-Mari in the Hasbaya district, to the Arqoub area, Hasbaya and the occupied Shebaa Farms.
The volatile calm was disrupted from midnight until dawn on Sunday by Israeli spy planes flying reconnaissance flights over the Hasbaya-Arqoub region and up to the Aramta al-Rayhan and al-Ahmadiyah hills in the Western Bekaa.
