An Israeli drone launched a raid on the town of Burj al-Muluk in southern Lebanon, and the surroundings of the towns of Shebaa, Kfar Shuba, Aita al-Shaab and Ramya were subjected to artillery shelling, while Hezbollah targeted Israeli sites in the Galilee and occupied Kfar Shuba.
The Lebanese Ministry of Health said that 3 people were injured in an Israeli raid on the town of Kfar Kila in southern Lebanon.
For its part, Hezbollah announced that it had attacked 5 Israeli sites in the Galilee and the occupied Kfar Shuba Hills.
The party said that it bombed the newly established headquarters of the 146th Division in Ja'tun in the Western Galilee with Katyusha rockets.
He also said that his fighters targeted the espionage equipment at the Matla site, and bombed the Ruwaysat al-Alam, al-Samaqa and Hanita sites.
The Israeli army said that it had detected about 30 rockets launched from Lebanon towards the Kabri area near Nahariya, northeast of the city of Acre, in the early hours of this morning.
The Fire and Rescue Authority confirmed that a fire broke out in the Western Galilee as a result of falling rockets.
The Israel Hayom website reported that the missile barrage launched from Lebanon included 8 towns in the Western Galilee, northern Israel.
Joint missions with UNIFIL
For its part, the Lebanese army said that its military units continue to carry out joint missions with UNIFIL forces operating in southern Lebanon.
The Lebanese army added, in a statement, that cooperation with UNIFIL comes within the framework of international resolution 1701, and in light of the exceptional circumstances that the country is witnessing, especially the ongoing Israeli attacks.
The army denied what was reported by some media outlets about stopping joint patrols between the Lebanese army and UNIFIL forces.
The Lebanese-Israeli border is witnessing increasing fears of the war on the Gaza Strip spreading and expanding into a regional conflict, in light of Tel Aviv’s readiness for a response from Iran and Hezbollah following the assassination of the head of the political bureau of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), Ismail Haniyeh, and Tel Aviv’s adoption of the assassination of the prominent Hezbollah leader, Fouad Shukr.
Since October 8, 2023, Lebanese and Palestinian factions in Lebanon, most notably Hezbollah, have been exchanging daily shelling with the Israeli army across the Blue Line, resulting in hundreds of deaths and injuries, most of them on the Lebanese side.
The factions are linking the cessation of the bombing to Israel ending the war it has been waging, with broad American support, on the Gaza Strip since October 7, which has left more than 132,000 Palestinian martyrs and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 10,000 missing.
