Escalation on Lebanese-Israeli Border: Six Militants Killed, Widespread Damage Reported

In recent confrontations on the Lebanese-Israeli borders, six militants, including four Hezbollah fighters and two Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) members, lost their lives. Lebanese military sources, speaking anonymously, revealed that Israeli bombings targeting southern Lebanon caused injuries to four Lebanese civilians and two army soldiers.

Hezbollah fighters were killed in separate Israeli raids, one in southwest Lebanon’s valleys and the other in a central sector village. The PIJ members died in an Israeli raid on a forested area in southwest Lebanon. Israeli artillery shelling injured Lebanese civilians in Rachaya Al-Fakhar and Al-Adaysseh villages.

Two Lebanese army members suffered from suffocation due to fires resulting from artillery shelling. Israeli heavy artillery targeted numerous towns and villages, while Hezbollah claimed responsibility for attacks on seven Israeli sites. The tension, escalating since October 8, has claimed 143 lives on the Lebanese side, involving Hezbollah members, Lebanese soldiers, and civilians.
