At dawn on Wednesday, an Israeli infantry unit of approximately twenty soldiers crossed into Lebanese territory, infiltrating the village of Mari in the Hasbaya district. The incursion was launched from the vicinity of the border town of Abbasiye.
On the ground, Israeli forces searched multiple homes, both occupied and abandoned, conducting interrogations with local Lebanese residents and Syrian agricultural workers. Two Syrian workers were briefly detained and later released near the border.
Though the operation caused no physical injuries or material damage, it heightened anxiety among the local population, particularly vulnerable communities already grappling with the ongoing instability in the region.
The infiltration comes amid growing tensions along the southern border, as Israeli forces continue to carry out targeted strikes against Hezbollah positions and personnel.
