Gradual Escalation in South Lebanon
Tensions rose again on Wednesday on the southern borders, following a night marked by violent exchanges of fire between Hezbollah and the Israeli army.

In the afternoon, the Israeli army announced that six soldiers had been wounded in a bombardment from southern Lebanon on a building in Arab el-Aramcheh. One of the wounded is in critical condition.

Moreover, Hezbollah claimed responsibility for the bombing of the Mayroun barracks, targeting the Israeli air control unit.

Hezbollah launched earlier rockets towards the Israeli Branit barracks, Wednesday at around 7:45 AM. Later, an Israeli airstrike was reported in the town of Aita al-Shaab around seven minutes after the Israeli barracks were targeted. This was followed by increased Israeli reconnaissance flights over western and central southern sectors.


At 8:00 AM, Hezbollah claimed that they targeted the headquarters of the 91st Division at the Branit barracks with Burkan missiles.

On the other hand, Israeli Channel 12 stated that “four rockets were fired from Lebanon and landed in an open area in West Galilee, with no injuries reported.”

Tensions escalated on Tuesday when Israel killed two Hezbollah commanders in Ain Baal and Chehabiyeh in the Tyre region.
