The escalation between Israel and Hezbollah continued throughout Wednesday, resulting in more than ten fatalities. An Israeli strike on Sarbin, a town in southern Lebanon, killed five people.
The most recent statistics show that three individuals were killed in the raid on Maarake and two in the morning raid that damaged the religious hall in Mayfadoun.
In the afternoon, the Israeli army attacked Khiam and Taybeh for the second time in a single day. Throughout the day, Israeli raids persisted targeting the ravaged area.
The areas of Harouf, Jebshit, Aita al-Shaab, Tibnin, Shihabiya, and Kfar Remman were also the target for Israeli air attacks.
Following an Israeli evacuation order on Wednesday morning, an old municipality building, a branch of the Al Qard Al-Hassan “al-Shadid society,” a center of the Islamic Health Committee (affiliated with Hezbollah), and a complex of residential buildings in the city of Tyre were targeted by a series of strikes.
Hezbollah and the Israeli army had engaged in a bloody combat on the Al-Qawzah-Aita al-Shaab front near Bint Jbeil.
Israeli artillery bombarded the area as Hezbollah and the Israeli army, which has been advancing into the south since September 30, battled in the Taybeh-Rabalthalatin-Odeisseh triangle.
In this context, the Israeli army declared that 22 soldiers were wounded in battles in southern Lebanon over the past 24 hours.

Temnine, Douris, Hizzine near Taraya and Shmestar, were targets for Israeli fighter jets, amid intense and consecutive shelling on the town of Zboud with no reported casualties.
The body of a young man was found under the rubble after the strike on a house near the Nabi Sheet public school.
In parallel, Hezbollah announced that it had fired rockets at “the Zofolon base” north of Haifa. Earlier, the pro-Iranian group claimed to have targeted “the Glilot base of the 8200 military intelligence unit on the outskirts of Tel Aviv.”
The Israeli army had announced intercepting drones coming from Lebanon, “for the fifth consecutive time today”.
The Israeli army spokesman, Avichay Adraee, said on his account on X, that “the army continues to intercept drones, in the North and South”.
“Recently, the air force intercepted and destroyed a drone from Lebanon before it crossed Israeli airspace,” he added.
In numerous and consecutive statements, Hezbollah claimed responsibility for targeting several gatherings of Israeli soldiers, including at the crossroads between the villages of Rab al-Thalathine, Odaisseh, Markaba in south Lebanon and Miskav Am in north Israel.
Hezbollah also confirmed on Wednesday that Hashem Safieddine, the head of its executive council and the man predicted to succeed Hassan Nasrallah at the helm of the group, had been killed in an Israeli strike.
For its part, the Israeli army said it had struck “Hezbollah command and control complexes” in the Tyre region, in particular “the headquarters of Hezbollah’s Southern Front unit”, from which it said, the pro-Iranian group had carried out several operations.
Israeli army radio reported that “two rockets fell in the north of the country, hitting two factories in the town of Acre and in Kiryat Bialik in the Bay of Haifa.”
