There have been several Israeli air raids, and several Hezbollah attacks today. Hezbollah has claimed responsibility for at least eight attacks on Israeli targets. The Israeli army is announcing nine of its soldiers have been wounded, including one that was severely injured. Here in Lebanon there were three Israeli air raids on the Qlaileh valley, which connects Naqoura to Tyre. Also, there were a couple of air raids at greater depth, about 16 kilometers (10 miles) from the border. Meanwhile, there were several attacks and artillery bombardment, which we witness on an hourly basis, towards the open areas in Naqoura and towards the eastern and central sectors of southern Lebanon. […]
Over the recent hours, several Israeli air raids targeted the hills overlooking Naqoura. Simultaneously, Hezbollah carried out attacks in the morning with no reported casualties. Israel aims to push Hezbollah beyond the Litani River, approximately 20km from the border, focusing the conflict in that area. Seizing this opportunity, Israel is striking Hezbollah’s infrastructure developed since the 2006 war. Concurrently, Hezbollah strives to target Israeli intelligence apparatus on the border, including communication devices, cameras, and infantry.

Israel is stepping up its military operations – air attacks striking deeper into Lebanon. Overnight, it targeted a site in the Iqlim al-Tuffah region approximately 20km (12 miles) from the border, an area where Hezbollah has military assets. That could have been in response to Hezbollah firing surface-to-air missiles that exploded close to Israeli helicopters flying in Israeli air space close to the border. Both sides are sending messages to each other – a form of deterrence, “If you hit us, we are able to hit you.” The frequency of the attacks has increased, but it is still largely confined to the border area. Al Jazeera’s Zeina Khodr has the […]
