Clashes persisted in southern Lebanon between Hezbollah and the Israeli army on Sunday, as diplomatic efforts to de-escalate violence intensified.
The Israeli army conducted a strike on the town of Aita al-Shaab in the Bint Jbeil district near Rmeish.
Throughout the night, the Israeli army bombarded the outskirts of Tayr Harfa and Dhayra, as well as Maroun al-Ras, causing significant damage to properties, crops and homes.
Around 2 AM, the Israeli army opened fire with heavy machine guns towards Aita Al-Shaab from their position at Birkat Risha. Reconnaissance aircraft flew over villages in the western and central sectors, even reaching the banks of the Litani River, dropping flare bombs over border villages adjacent to the Blue Line.
Additionally, the Israeli army reported targeting a “Hezbollah military infrastructure in Serbine.”
For its part, Hezbollah announced that it had targeted the settlement of Meron and surrounding settlements with Katyusha rockets on Saturday night. It also targeted the Baghdadi site with artillery shells.
The pro-Iranian group stated that the attack on Meron was a response to Israel’s attacks on civilian homes in several southern areas, including Kfar Kila. It also cited the incidents in Kfarchouba, where a civilian was killed, and Serbine, where 11 people were wounded by Israeli aircraft, according to the Lebanese National News Agency.
Moreover, “The Iron Dome air defense system successfully intercepted a suspicious aerial target crossing Lebanon towards the al-Manara region in northern Israel,” according to a statement from the Israeli army.
Additionally, the army identified numerous anti-tank missile strikes originating from Lebanon towards the al-Manara region and reported bombing the area where the strikes originated.
