Latest Developments in Southern Lebanon: Major Fire Near the Blue Line

A fire broke out this morning at the Lebanese Army and UNIFIL (Nepalese Battalion) sites across from the Manarah settlement on the outskirts of the northeastern town of Mays al-Jabal, along the Blue Line. Civil defense teams from the Islamic Scout Association and the Lebanese Civil Defense quickly arrived to extinguish the fire. Several landmines exploded as the fire spread further while efforts to control the blaze continue. The town of Hula, particularly the Al-Marj neighborhood and Wadi al-Dalafah, has come under heavy artillery shelling. Additionally, the Israeli army stationed at the Al-Abad and Manarah sites is conducting direct firing with machine guns on the neighborhoods and homes in Hula. Hezbollah announced that its elements "carried out an aerial attack with a drone on the newly established artillery position in the Sannayim area in the occupied Shebaa Farms, targeting the positions of Israeli army officers and soldiers and hitting the target precisely."
