- Southern front: Two Killed in an Israeli Raid Near Tyre
Two people were killed on Tuesday evening in an Israeli drone strike that targeted their car on the Tyre-Naqoura road, near a shopping center. Palestinian sources said the two victims were members of the Islamic Jihad. Their identities were not immediately released. Their car was targeted by three missiles.
The raid followed a heavy exchange of fire during all day, between Hezbollah and the Israeli army. It also came less than 24 hours after Hassan Nasrallah’s speech. The head of the pro-iranian group promised on Monday that "the Lebanese front in support of Hamas" would remain active until a ceasefire is reached in Gaza.
Earlier in the afternoon, two people were wounded in Yaroun (Bint Jbeil caza) and Kfar Kila (Marjayoun caza) in an Israeli bombardment of their villages on Tuesday afternoon. The wounded man from Yaroun was taken to Salah Ghandour hospital in Bint Jbeil. The targeted house was completely destroyed, and many other neighboring houses were damaged.
Meanwhile, Israeli media reported that a civilian was killed by a Hezbollah anti-tank missile in Adamit, on the border with Lebanon. Two others were wounded, according to the same media, which also reported a Hezbollah shelling of Malkiya, in northern Israel.
Hezbollah announced, in a press release, the targeting of an Israeli balloon in the Adamit settlement that was about to be launched “for monitoring and spying on Lebanon.”|
The balloon fell in Lebanon between the villages of Rmeish and Ain Ebel and the army intelligence collected it. The Israeli military spokesperson confirmed the downing of an army surveillance balloon inside Lebanese territory by rockets fired by Hezbollah.
Hezbollah also claimed that it hit three targets associated with the device. These targets included the launching base, the control mechanism and the management crew, "some of whom were directly injured, with casualties reported among them."
Moreover, Hezbollah targeted buildings used by Israeli soldiers in the Malkiya and Avivim settlements, the headquarters of Brigade 801 in Ma'aleh Golan and the Sammaka site “with appropriate weapons."
The ongoing cross-border exchange between Israel and Hezbollah intensified on Tuesday afternoon.
Israeli warplanes targeted the border town of Kfar Kila, and the outskirts of Alma al-Shaab-Dhayra, where the resulting fires consumed surrounding forests and trees. Additionally, the Israeli air force launched airstrikes against the outskirts of the towns of Rachaya al-Foukhar, Kfar Hammam and Aita al-Shaab.
