The southern Lebanese borders witnessed on Tuesday afternoon increased tensions after the killing of two Hezbollah officials, one killed by the Israeli Army on Monday night and the other on Tuesday morning.
Hezbollah claimed responsibility of a drone attack on the headquarters of the Golani brigade and the Egoz (621) unit in the northern Israeli coastal town of Acre.
The pro-Iranian formation also declared targeting a gathering of Israeli soldiers in the Al-Assi position.
Earlier this morning, they published a video showing an operation targeting Israeli Army spy equipment in the Wazzani and Hanita regions.
For its part, the Israeli Army carried out raids against the villages of Hounin, Hula, and Aita al-Shaab, also shelling Alma al-Shaab and Hanine.
This morning, the outskirts of Tyre, Tayr Harfa, and Alma al-Shaab, were targets for Israeli artillery, while spy drones flew over villages in the western and central sectors, in addition to Tyre and Bint Jbeil districts.
Israeli Army spokesperson, Avichay Adraee, announced on his X account that the air force intercepted “two suspicious objects over territorial waters in the north of the country.”
“Alarm sirens have been activated,” he added.
Tuesday morning, an engineer in Hezbollah’s air defense unit, Hussein Ali Azkoul, was killed in an Israeli drone-raid that targeted his car on the Abou el-Assouad road, near Adloun, in the caza of Tyre.
It was not until midday that Hezbollah revealed the identity of the victim of the morning raid.
Avichay Adraee, who had announced earlier in the morning that a high-ranking member of Hezbollah’s air defense unit had been killed in the raid, but without giving a name, subsequently stated on his X account that the Israeli air force had killed two members of the pro-Iranian group.
According to him, the second was Sajed Sarafand, a member of the “Radwan” forces, killed on Monday night in the Arzoun region.
Adraee also stated that Israeli fighter jets had attacked a military building belonging to the Hezb in Yaroun and four others of its infrastructures on Monday night.
