- Hezbollah Targets Iron Dome Launch Pads
Hezbollah retaliated on Saturday afternoon to the Israeli strike which in the morning had targeted a large military complex and a post belonging to Hezbollah in the Rihan area in southern Lebanon.
In the afternoon and through the evening, Hezbollah carried out a series of attacks on Israeli positions, targeting, with drones, Iron Dome launch pads—Israel's air defense system.
In a series of press releases, Hezbollah claimed responsibility for attacks on the Israeli position at Ruwaisat al-Alam (Kfarchouba Hills) and a gathering of Israeli soldiers in the Hanita and Adather woods. A military building in the settlement of Even Menachem (northern Israel) and spy equipment at the Raheb site were also targeted by Hezbollah.
The pro-Iranian group also announced that it had used drones and artillery shells to target a building used by the Israeli army as a military post in the Hanita settlement.
An Israeli army reservist, a member of the Hanita security team, was seriously injured in these attacks. He was taken to the hospital, according to the Israeli army.
For its part, the latter reported the explosion of two drones from Lebanon in the Hanita settlement in the Upper Galilee. In addition, the Israeli media reported that four missiles were fired from Lebanon towards the Upper Galilee, causing no injuries.
Israeli raids retaliated by targeting the Jezzine and Iqlim al-Tuffah areas, as well as the villages of Taybeh, Hula, Tayr Harfa, Alma al-Shaab and Odaisseh, the area between Deir Siriane and Taybeh and another between Dhayra and Alma al-Shaab. No injuries were reported.
The Israeli army also opened fire on farmers on the outskirts of Abbassiyeh and al-Majidiyeh, without causing any injuries. Shepherd Taysir al-Ahmad survived after being hit by three Energa missiles while tending cows opposite the village of Ghajar in the eastern sector.
A three-story house was also completely flattened by Israeli aircraft in the area between Ramya and Bayt Lif (Bint Jbeil caza).
Meanwhile, a missile launched by the Israeli air force near the Yarine sports ground failed to explode.
Against the backdrop of this heated situation, the US Embassy in Beirut advised its citizens to "avoid travel to the Lebanon-Israel border area, the Lebanon-Syria border area and refugee settlements."
In a new security warning published on Saturday on the Embassy's website and on platform X, US citizens residing in Lebanon were advised to "enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) to receive alerts and make it easier for us (the US Embassy) to locate you (citizens) in an emergency."
