The settlements of the Upper Galilee are constantly subjected to missile attacks from southern Lebanon (French)
Today, Tuesday, Israel continued to bomb villages in southern Lebanon, and announced the closure of some of its settlements adjacent to the borders that were being hit by Hezbollah missiles, warning of “reaching the stage of military decisiveness.”
Al Jazeera's correspondent reported renewed Israeli bombing of southern Lebanon, as Israeli artillery bombed the vicinity of the town of Wazzani.
Lebanese media said that Israeli occupation artillery targeted the vicinity of the road between Burj Al-Muluk and Al-Khiyam in the Marjayoun Plain.
Earlier on Tuesday, occupation aircraft bombed the town of Siddiqin, while its artillery bombed the outskirts of other towns in southern Lebanon.
On the other hand, sirens sounded today in a number of Israeli settlements in the Western Galilee region, close to Lebanon’s southern border.
Bombing and closing
Israeli Channel 12 said that a missile had been fired at a military area in the town of Arab Al-Aramsha, near the Lebanese border, without causing any casualties. It added that the Israeli army responded by bombing the source of the fire.
The channel indicated that after an assessment conducted by the Israeli army, traffic was closed in the settlements of Manara, Misgat Am, and Margaliot.
Lebanese Hezbollah said that its fighters targeted an Israeli occupation Merkava tank in the Natova settlement with a guided missile, killing and wounding its crew.
The Times of Israel newspaper quoted the Israeli police as saying that damage was caused to a building in Kiryat Shmona as a result of a missile launched from Lebanon.
Gallant threatens
For his part, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant said, "Hezbollah's aggression brings us closer to the decisive point regarding our military action in southern Lebanon."
At the same time, Gallant confirmed during discussions with US envoy Amos Hockstein that Tel Aviv is committed to political efforts to reach an agreement with Lebanon.
It is noteworthy that since the day following the Al-Aqsa Flood operation on October 7, Hezbollah has been launching missile attacks on Israeli military sites and settlements, “in support and support of the Palestinian resistance in Gaza.”
For its part, the Israeli army is launching air and artillery bombardments on villages and towns in southern Lebanon, and says it is targeting Hezbollah military sites and infrastructure.
