As the situation in Lebanon escalates over the past hours and days, it appears that Hezbollah and Israel are mutually preparing for any potential escalation in the region. This morning, the Israeli army targeted the town of Dhaher, firing over the heads of civilians who had arrived this morning to check on their homes. Simultaneously, Israeli artillery directly shelled a house in the town of Kfarkala.
A number of residents from the towns of Naqoura, Marwahin, Dhaher, Bustan, and Yarine flocked to their towns on the morning of Eid al-Adha to visit the graves and those who remained in the area, taking advantage of an unofficial lull indicated by a decrease in shelling exchanges since midnight Saturday-Sunday, continuing into Sunday afternoon when the area saw limited shelling. Residents checked on their homes in the border town of Dhaher while being threatened by gunfire from the Israeli army. Additionally, the outskirts of the town of Aitaroun were hit by three artillery shells at night, originating from Israeli positions inside Palestinian territory.
