Following a violent night in Beirut's southern suburbs, several regions in Lebanon came under Israeli attack on Wednesday.
An Israeli raid took place in the southern suburbs of Beirut on Wednesday morning, near Choueifat.
The villages of Zaoutar, Debel, Haouch, Ramadiya, Deir Kanoun, Markaba, Ras al-Ain and Froun were targeted. Three people were killed in Debel.
Heavy clashes between Israeli forces and Hezbollah in the southern Lebanese town of Odaisseh on Wednesday resulted in the death of four Israeli soldiers and injuries to 20 others, according to preliminary reports.
Hezbollah claimed responsibility for the attack, stating that they had forced Israeli troops to retreat after infiltrating Lebanese territory.
The confrontation occurred just 200 meters from the Israeli town of Misgav Am, which has been under threat of rocket fire.
Hezbollah
Hezbollah has launched multiple salvos of rockets into Israel throughout Wednesday, with at least 20 rockets aimed at the Haifa Bay region and 30 more at the Galilee, most of which were intercepted. Around 100 rockets have been fired from Lebanon into northern Israel since this morning, according to the Israeli army.
The pro-Iranian group also targeted the Za'rit barracks with Katyusha rockets, before moving on to Shtula. A salvo of missiles was also fired at Israeli soldiers in Shomera. According to a regional council in northern Israel, ten rockets were fired at Metula.
In response, the Israeli air force intensified its airstrikes across southern Lebanon, targeting villages including Debbin, Marjayoun, Khiam and Nabatiyeh.
Israeli Threats
The Israeli army announced on Wednesday that its 36th Division, comprising the Golani Brigade, the 188th Armored Brigade, the Etzioni Brigade and other units, had joined the ground offensive in southern Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah infrastructure. The operation is supported by airstrikes and artillery fire from the 282nd Fire Brigade.
The Israeli army’s Arabic-speaking spokesman, Avichay Adraee, issued an urgent warning on Wednesday morning to the inhabitants of southern Lebanon, advising them not to travel by vehicle from the region north of the Litani to the south.
“For your personal safety, we ask you not to travel by vehicle from the area north of the Litani River to the area to the south. The army will disrupt the movements of Hezbollah elements and prevent them from carrying out their attacks. This warning is in force until further notice.”
He also called on the inhabitants of the 25 villages of Bayada, Biout el-Sayed, Rachidiyeh, Maachouq, al-Bass, Choubriha, Tayr Debba, Borgholieh, Nabi Kassem, Bourj Rahal, Abbasiya, Maaraka, Ain Baal, Mahrouna, Bafliya, Deir Kifa, Srifa, Arzoun, Dardaghia, Dahr Bariyat Jaber, Jabal al-Adas, Chahour, Bourj al-Chamali and Qasimiyeh camp to evacuate their homes and head for the immediate north of the Awali River, 100 kilometers inside Lebanese territory, north of the Litani River and Saida.
