The Lebanese-Israeli border has witnessed a calculated escalation between the two parties since last October (Anatolia)

Lebanese Hezbollah announced that its fighters targeted, with "appropriate" weapons, the Israeli "Khirbet Maar" base off the Lebanese border.

Al Jazeera's correspondent reported that two missiles were fired from southern Lebanon towards the Israeli military site of Al-Samaqa in the occupied Lebanese "Kfar Shuba" hills.

According to the Israeli army, 3 missiles were detected today, Saturday, that crossed Lebanese territory to the areas of “Baram” and “Zarait” (in the Upper Galilee) and landed in open areas, without causing any casualties.

Earlier today, Saturday, Israeli Army Radio announced, “Two missiles were launched from Lebanon, landing in an open area in Zarit, and an anti-tank missile on Kibbutz Baram in the Upper Galilee.”

Israeli raids

For its part, Israeli warplanes launched a series of raids on the towns of Aita al-Shaab and Yaroun, and the Jabal Balat area in southern Lebanon, while Israeli artillery bombed the surroundings of the towns of Rashaya al-Fakhar and Dhahira.

Meanwhile, the Israeli army announced that its warplanes carried out raids targeting what it said were Hezbollah sites in Lebanese territory.

He pointed out that he bombed two observation sites in the Marwahin and Aita al-Shaab regions, and a military command headquarters in the Yaron region, saying that the targeting took place while members of the party were working at a rocket launch site, and a site from which rockets were launched into Israel.

Hezbollah's Al-Manar TV said that "hostile drones fired a missile towards Yaroun, and (there was) Zionist artillery shelling targeting the Al-Kharibah area on the outskirts of Rashaya Al-Fakhar."

In the same context, the Lebanese Amal Movement announced, at dawn on Saturday, the killing of two of its members in confrontations with the Israeli army in southern Lebanon, bringing its death toll to 3 since the eighth of last October.

The movement said that they were killed "while carrying out their national and jihadist duty in defense of Lebanon and the south."

According to the Lebanese National News Agency, “The enemy intends to paralyze daily life in the southern villages and towns adjacent to the Blue Line, targeting agricultural workshops, civilian cars, and moving mechanical and human bodies, especially at night, in addition to targeting ambulances, media personnel, and the press.”

In light of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, since October 8, the Israeli-Lebanese border has witnessed tension and intermittent exchange of fire between Hezbollah and Palestinian factions on the one hand and the Israeli army on the other, which led to deaths and injuries on both sides, and among Lebanese civilians. .
