A precarious calm reigned on Saturday morning at the southern border, following a violent escalation that has resurfaced overnight.
Sirens blared on Saturday morning in Ras Naqoura and the Western Galilee areas after suspicions of a drone infiltration from Lebanon. Additionally, the Israeli Army targeted Aita al-Shaab, while Hezbollah announced the shelling of an Israeli position at Hadab Yaroun. It stated that it had targeted a command post currently occupied by forces from the Golani Brigade in response to the recent attack on Froun, the Mount Neria base, and the Hadb Yaroun site.
Earlier on Friday night, the Israeli strikes extended from the frontline border villages to the villages near the Litani River in the farthest points, targeting the valleys between the towns of Srifa and Froun with more than 12 airstrikes.
Israeli Army spokesperson Avichay Adraee said that the Israeli Army targeted more than 15 rocket platforms and Hezbollah military infrastructure in southern Lebanon, in addition to several platforms that were ready for immediate launch toward Israeli territories.
According to the Public Health Emergency Operations Center, affiliated with the Ministry of Public Health, one person was injured, and there was a case of suffocation due to the use of phosphorus shells on Burj al-Muluk.
Both were admitted to the Marjayoun Governmental Hospital for treatment. Moreover, three civilians with minor injuries were transferred from towns near the targeted valley, with no injuries reported within the valley itself.
Additionally, the Israeli Army Chief of Staff, Herzi Halevi, announced that his forces are preparing to take offensive measures inside Lebanon. “The Israeli Army is working to reduce the threats facing residents of the northern region and the Golan Heights while also preparing for a later offensive, without providing further details,” he added.
