Tensions on the Rise in Southern Lebanon
Clashes escalated in southern Lebanon on Friday morning following Thursday’s attack on the al-Radwan force headquarters in Jmaijmeh, which killed the head of operations, Jaafar Maatouk, and another commander and resulted in several injuries.

Israeli artillery fired towards Hula, while the area around Kfar Hamam was hit with phosphorus shells. Israeli artillery shelling also targeted Wadi Shabaa in the Arqoub region, where a number of houses were damaged.

Hezbollah claimed responsibility for attacking the Roueissat al-Alam site, using a new type of heavy-caliber rocket and destroying its target. The Raheb site was also struck with guided missiles and artillery fire.


In response to Israeli attacks on civilians in Safad el-Battikh, Majdel Selm and Chaqra, the pro-Iranian group launched Katyusha rockets at the Abirim settlement for the first time.

Israeli media also reported alarm sirens sounding in Meron, northern Israel.
