The Israeli army carried out a raid on the outskirts of Birkat Mays al-Jabal. Israeli warplanes also launched two airstrikes on the border town of Marwahin in the western sector.
For its part, Hezbollah announced that it had targeted two gatherings of soldiers, one near the Israeli barracks of Rweissat al-Alam in the Kfarchouba hills “with a Bourkan missile,” and a second in the vicinity of the Branit site.
The pro-Iranian group also announced that it had targeted spy equipment at the Raheb site with guided missiles. On Sunday night, the Israeli army fired three flares at the Loubia hill on the Koulayat road.
