Intensified Israeli Airstrikes and Shelling in the South

This morning, Israeli warplanes carried out an airstrike on the area of Al-Aliq, located at the edges of the towns of Al-Bustan and Yarin. Additionally, the Israeli artillery targeted the outskirts of the town of Tyre Harfa. The Israeli army recorded the highest number of aggressions and airstrikes since yesterday afternoon and into the night, including an airstrike on the town of Beit Yahoun in the central sector, which targeted a house, resulting in the deaths of five members of the Islamic resistance.

Israeli warplanes launched attacks shortly before ten at night on the hills surrounding the towns of Majdel Zoun, Tyre Harfa, Alama al-Shaab, Al-Qozah, Shama, and Aita al-Shaab, as well as the mountains of Lubunah, Al-Alam, and the valleys adjacent to Tyre Harfa and Majdel Zoun. Additionally, heavy shelling impacted most outskirts of the towns in both the western and central sectors, while an Israeli drone targeted a motorcycle on the road to the town of Naqoura, injuring two young men severely; they were transported to hospitals in the city of Tyre.

Southern villages and towns are experiencing heightened tension and caution due to the escalating clashes and the targeting of civilians, journalists, and ambulances, making all moving objects during the day and night targets for Israel, further increasing the number of displaced persons due to the challenging living conditions in the mentioned villages and towns.

On another note, Israeli reconnaissance aircraft hovered throughout the night until this morning over the villages in the western and central sectors, extending to the outskirts of the Tyre area and the coastal region, and illuminating bombs were dropped over the border villages adjacent to the blue line. Around three in the morning, an explosion was heard in the southern sky, determined to be the result of the interception of a missile by the Iron Dome defense system.

Security agencies in the Rashidiya camp confirmed that Hamas arrested a collaborator who had informed the Israeli army about the Palestinian group targeted on the road to Al-Shaaitiya, which resulted in the death of four individuals, including a leadership member of Hamas.
