Intense fighting continues along Israel-Lebanon border

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.

Israeli air attacks target 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-Hezbollah conflict intensifies, but largely confined to border area

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 […]

Hezbollah claims responsibility for attack at Israel-Lebanon border

There has been a fire exchange at the Israel-Lebanon border, with the Israeli army saying that “several” civilians were injured in an antitank missile attack launched from Lebanon. The army said it responded by shooting at the source of the fire. Skirmishes between Israeli forces and Shia group Hezbollah along the border have been ongoing since the start of the Gaza war on October 7. While they have remained confined in geography and scope most of the time, they appear to be gradually escalating. Hezbollah has claimed responsibility for the attack. The exchange of fire between Israel and Lebanon has been continuous and intense for the last five weeks, said […]

Family, including three children, killed by Israeli attack in south Lebanon

An Israeli air attack in south Lebanon has killed four civilians – three children and their grandmother – raising the likelihood of a dangerous new escalation in the conflict on the Lebanon-Israel border. Israeli troops and Lebanon’s Hezbollah fighters and their allies have been clashing for a month along the border since the start of the Israel-Hamas war. While clashes remain largely contained, they have increased in intensity as Israel conducts a ground incursion in Gaza against Hezbollah ally Hamas. Hezbollah has promised to “double” the death toll from any Israeli attacks on civilians after a strike killed three children and their grandmother in southern Lebanon. Al Jazeera’s Zeina Khodr […]
