Tensions Rise Again in Southern Lebanon on Sunday
Tensions escalated in southern Lebanon on Sunday morning when Hezbollah bombarded Israeli positions in the Golan Heights and northern Israel, "targeting the Kileh air defense headquarters and the Yoav missile and artillery base with dozens of Katyusha rockets," according to a Hezb statement. The rockets were launched in response to strikes by Israeli military aircraft on Saturday evening in Baalbeck, in eastern Lebanon.

In the early afternoon, alarm sirens sounded in the settlements of Menara and Margaliot in Galilee. Hezbollah later claimed responsibility for an attack on Menara.

For its part, the Israeli Army opened fire on Labbouneh, Al-Alam, Wadi Barghiz, and Srayra in the Jezzine region, as well as Hula and the Khardali road between Marjayoun and Nabatieh, where three shells fell. The Lebanese Army temporarily closed the road to clear it and ensure the safety of civilians.

Later in the afternoon, Israeli airplanes carried out a raid on Jannata, in southern Lebanon, at a distance of 20km from the border, for the first time since the start of the hostilities between Hezbollah and Israel.


Additionally, a drone strike occurred in Wadi al-Dalafa in Hula, and warplanes carried out an airstrike in the vicinity of Maaroub.

Israeli artillery also targeted the banks of the Litani River in the Khardali region with 175mm shells, as well as Hula and Deir Mimas. A house in the Toura locality between Deir Qanoun and Jennata, Tyre district, was damaged, and ambulances rushed to the scene.

In the evening, the Israeli army bombed a residential area in Kfar Kila, where several homes were destroyed. The Israeli army's Arabic-speaking spokesman, Avichaï Adrae, confirmed the raid, indicating that it targeted buildings belonging to the Israeli army. This attack was followed by raids on Yaroun and Aïtaroun.
