Escalation in the South: Attack on Former Minister's Villa!

Military operations continue in the south, with recent developments including a drone strike on a vehicle in the town of Wazzani; the driver narrowly escaped death by jumping out of the vehicle. An Israeli airstrike targeted the villa of former minister Ali Arab in the "Shouran" area on the coast north of Tyre.

Israeli warplanes conducted a strike on the road between Shabriha and Bregil in the Tyre area. A statement from the "Khiam Health Center" affiliated with the Amel Association in Khiam indicated that the center was subjected to Israeli bombardment, causing severe material damage. The statement noted that the center provides health and medical services to the residents of the town and surrounding areas, marking the third time it has come under Israeli attacks. This incident coincided with a visit by the head of the association, Dr. Kamal Mahna, accompanied by Dr. Omar Nashaba, to the A’arqoub centers in Kfar Hammam, which had also been bombed by Israel for the second time.

Around 7:30 AM, warplanes struck the town of Yaron in the Bent Jbeil district, with reports indicating three fatalities from the attack. Israeli shelling also targeted the outskirts of Kfar Kila and the vicinity of Khiam, while the Israeli army fired heavy machine gun bursts toward the town.

In response, "Hezbollah" announced in a statement that its forces launched an "air attack with a swarm of assault drones targeting enemy soldiers' positions and their deployment within the Metula settlement, achieving confirmed hits." Hezbollah mourned the deaths of Hassan Muhammad Ali Saab "Sadiq," born in 1970 from the town of Yaron in southern Lebanon, and Jihad Ahmad Hayek "Haider," born in 1999 from the town of Adchit in southern Lebanon. Earlier, Israeli media reported sirens sounding in the Kiryat Shmona settlement and its surroundings over fears of drone infiltration.
