Today, Saturday, the intensity of shelling escalated along the Lebanese border as Hezbollah intensified its attacks on border sites, introducing guided missiles into the battlefield, which was countered by Israeli shelling of targets, igniting bushes. According to reports, Hezbollah targeted the Bar'am settlement in southern Lebanon with an anti-tank missile, as well as the Israeli site of Hanita and a Hummer vehicle and tank, and the site of Ruwaysat al-Alam in the Shebaa Farms and the hills of Kfarshouba with missiles and ammunition. They then targeted an Israeli infantry force in the Ramim barracks, claiming confirmed injuries, while Israel holds the Lebanese government responsible for the incidents at the border, although it stated it believes "Hezbollah has not seriously entered the battle yet."
The clashes have continued for over half an hour opposite the town of Yaron following the launch of two guided missiles toward an Israeli military site and a shelling operation involving the use of phosphorus bombs targeting the outskirts of the town. According to a statement from Hezbollah, "the Mujahideen of the Islamic resistance launched guided missiles today at a Hummer vehicle belonging to the occupation forces around the Dovif barracks, inflicting casualties on its crew." It noted that "as a Zionist tank advanced towards the targeted site, the Mujahideen targeted it with guided missiles." The party mourned two members, Bilal Nimer Ramiti "Abu Ali Nour" from the town of Majadel and Khalil Khreis "Haydar" from Khiam.
The Fajr Forces - the Islamic Group in Lebanon announced that they "targeted Israeli sites along the border with missiles, achieving direct hits." A strong explosion was heard in the town of Khiam on Saturday evening, which turned out to be caused by the explosion of a Patriot missile in the town, before Israeli aircraft changed their focus to the vicinity of Yaron in the central sector of southern Lebanon. The Israeli bombardment targeted a house belonging to a citizen from the town of Al-Qadhooh in the Al-Kasar area in the town of Yater, causing only material damage. An explosion of a missile from an Israeli drone in the valley between Sijd and Rihane in Jezzine led to fires in the bushes.
Beginning with bombardment on the town of Ramish, the phosphorus shells entered the fray, followed by strikes on the Shebaa Farms. Hezbollah announced that one of its fighters was killed on the border with Israel today, bringing the total number of its members claimed to have been killed during two weeks of escalating violence in the border region to 14. A security source in Lebanon stated that the fighter was killed in the Lebanese Hula region, opposite the Israeli town of Hounein, which Israel claimed was the target of an anti-tank missile attack. The Israeli army stated that it responded with gunfire.
Official media reported today that "the Israeli army shelled the outskirts of the town of Blida in Marjayoun district." It continued: "A spying and surveillance column of the Israeli army was targeted opposite the Dabaka region in Mays al-Jabal, as well as the al-Ibad military site opposite the town of Hula, in addition to targeting the Ruysiat al-Alam site in the occupied Shebaa Farms, while the Israeli army responded by targeting the outskirts of Kfarshouba, Shebaa, Halla, and Mari." A flare shell fired by the Israeli army landed in the "Tal al-Nahhas" area between Kfarkala and Burj al-Mulouk, causing a fire.
In turn, the Israeli army announced that "Israeli planes and soldiers targeted today militants who fired missiles and anti-tank shells near the border with Lebanon." The spokesperson for the Israeli army, Avichai Adraee, wrote on his official account on the X platform: "The area of the Hanita town on the border was attacked by several anti-tank shells, while our forces responded by targeting the sources of gunfire. A sabotage cell launched a rocket towards the area of Jabal Ross, which fell in an open area.
