Today, Saturday, the areas surrounding the towns of Tyre Harfa, Al-Jabin, and Wadi Hamoul in Naqoura were subjected to direct Israeli artillery fire. An Israeli drone targeted a civilian vehicle on the Ainata Al-Shaab main road, but no injuries were reported. An Israeli drone also carried out an airstrike on the town of Marwahin, launching two missiles at the targeted area. Drones flew intensively over the western sector. Meanwhile, rocket fire from southern Lebanon targeted the Israeli Zahrani military base.
According to Al-Manar reporter: Two airstrikes were carried out by hostile warplanes on agricultural land in the middle of Kfar Kila. Since morning, a cautious calm prevailed in the border area of the western sector after a day of attacks on southern villages the previous day, where the Israeli army expanded its circle of assaults against southern areas, reaching open territory north of the Litani River. On the other hand, the resistance responded with a series of attacks targeting its positions.
Hezbollah announced in a statement that it had targeted "a gathering of Israeli army soldiers in Harj Adthar with appropriate weapons," and "in support of our steadfast Palestinian people in Gaza and in support of its valiant and honorable resistance, our Islamic Resistance fighters launched an aerial attack at 01:50 PM on Saturday, December 30, 2023, against the Ramtha site and its garrison in the occupied Shebaa Farms, hitting its target accurately."
### Statement from the Islamic Resistance:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful: “Permission is granted to those who fight because they have been wronged, and indeed, Allah is capable of granting them victory.” May Allah support our steadfast Palestinian people in Gaza and support their valiant resistance.
Calm is intermittently disrupted by intensive flights of reconnaissance drones, type "MK," over the skies of Naqoura, Sour, and even the villages of Bint Jbeil. At night, the Israeli army intensified its assaults on the western sector, with heavy artillery shelling on the outskirts of the towns of Sheikhin, Al-Jabin, Um al-Tout, Al-Bustan, and Jabal Balat. After midnight, shelling occurred around Al-Jabin and the valleys adjacent to the Blue Line. In the central sector, around 9 PM, Israeli artillery shelled the outskirts of the towns of Ainata Al-Shaab and Yaron.
The Israeli army also fired illuminating flares into the skies over the western and central sectors, reaching the outskirts of the towns of Al-Mansouri, Majdal Zoun, Tyre Harfa, and Shama, with reconnaissance aircraft continuing to fly over the villages adjacent to the Blue Line throughout the night and into the early morning hours.
