In a recent resumption of hostilities along the Lebanese-Israeli southern border, tensions escalated as both sides engaged in a series of attacks throughout the day.
An Israeli aerial drone conducted a raid, targeting the area between the towns of Maroun al-Ras and Yaroun with a guided missile. Simultaneously, artillery shelling pounded the same area, which led to reports of injuries. The Israeli Army’s focus on a house in Mays al-Jabal resulted in an ambulance team rushing to the scene, transporting two injured individuals to the Martyr Salah Ghandour Hospital in Bint Jbeil.
Civil Defense reported transporting two wounded individuals from Mays al-Jabal to the Martyr Salah Ghandour Hospital in Bint Jbeil due to Israeli shelling.
Artillery fire continued to rain down on various locations, including the outskirts of Maroun, the area between Yaroun and Maroun al-Ras, and the southern outskirts of Yaroun. The Israeli Army targeted the towns of Rashaya al-Fukhar, Helta Farms near Kfarchouba, and al-Salamia Farms in the Hasbaya district.
Later in the day, reports surfaced of Israeli artillery shelling extending to the towns of Ramya, Aita al-Shaab, Beit Lif, Blida, Aitaroun, and the area between Markaba and Hula.
Amidst these attacks, Hezbollah responded by targeting Israeli positions. A house in Aita al-Shaab was hit with three tank shells, prompting Hezbollah to announce the targeting of the radar site and Roueissat al-Qarn sites, causing direct hits. The party also claimed to target two gatherings of Israeli occupation soldiers, achieving direct hits at Jal al-Alam and Karm al-Tuffah. Subsequent attacks targeted Israel’s maritime site.
Hezbollah reported the death of one of its members, Ali Hassan Al-Atat, from Haret Hreik in the southern suburbs of Beirut.
The conflict further escalated as rockets were fired toward the Malkiya Israeli site near Aitaroun. Sixteen rockets reportedly targeted Israeli sites in Upper Galilee. Reports varied, with Israeli media stating that the rockets landed in open areas, while Al-Hadath claimed the launch of 20 rocket shells from the Lebanese border.
Israeli Channel 12 reported missile fire from Lebanon targeting an army site on Mount Hermon. The Israeli Army spokesperson confirmed ongoing shelling in Lebanese territories using artillery and armored forces since the morning.
The father of Al-Jazeera channel’s correspondent in Gaza, Mo’men Al-Sharafi, along with his mother and several siblings, were martyred in an airstrike on the Jabalya refugee camp.
Throughout Tuesday night and Wednesday, the Israeli Army continued its offensive by launching incendiary shells, igniting fires along the Blue Line. Illuminating bombs lit the skies of the western and central sectors, while Israeli reconnaissance aircraft flew over the district of Tyre and the coastal area.
The aftermath of the aggression was visible in the public square of Mays al-Jabal, resembling a war zone after a night of intense shelling. An Israeli Apache helicopter targeted a residential building with a guided missile, causing significant damage to the structure and nearby commercial establishments and residential apartments. Fortunately, the building was evacuated, and no human casualties were reported, attributed to divine protection. Damage in the northern, western, and southern neighborhoods of the town has yet to be documented.
Hezbollah’s war media released a video showcasing scenes of “the Islamic Resistance targeting several locations belonging to the Israeli Army on the Lebanese-Palestinian borders,” underscoring the intensity of the cross-border conflict throughout the day.
