Bloody escalation in southern Lebanon: Martyrs and wounded in Israeli raids, and the resistance responds with 10 operations

The Lebanese Ministry of Health announced the martyrdom of five people, including two children, and the injury of about 15 others in an initial toll of a series of air raids launched by Israeli occupation aircraft on various areas in southern Lebanon on Sunday. These aggressions come amid the fragility of the recently extended ceasefire agreement, raising the level of field tension to record levels.

Medical sources explained that the town of Tayr Falsay, affiliated with the Tyre district, witnessed the death of three martyrs, including a child, in addition to the injury of eight citizens with varying injuries. The raids also targeted the town of Tayr Debba, resulting in the martyrdom of two people, including a child, and the injury of a woman and two others, in a scene that reflects a direct targeting of populated areas.

The aggressions did not stop at the Tyre district but extended to include the town of Zrarieh in the Sidon district and the town of Jibshit in the Nabatieh district, where reports indicated injuries among civilians. These data confirm the occupation's continued violation of international understandings that were supposed to guarantee a de-escalation of military operations until early next July.

For its part, Hezbollah announced the implementation of ten qualitative military operations targeting sites and gatherings of the Israeli occupation army along the southern border. The resistance used suicide drones, artillery shells, and guided missiles in its attacks, stressing that these operations come within the framework of a legitimate response to repeated Israeli violations.

In the details of the field operations, Hezbollah fighters targeted gatherings of occupation soldiers in the towns of Rashaf, Naqoura, Bayada, and Deir Syriane, achieving direct hits. Resistance statements indicated that the attacks focused on the movements of military vehicles attempting to position themselves at advanced points within Lebanese territory.

For its part, the Israeli occupation army admitted that five of its soldiers were injured as a result of an explosive device explosion that targeted their force in one of the areas of southern Lebanon. This admission coincided with field reports confirming the detonation of an explosive device by an Israeli force that tried to advance towards the Safita area in the vicinity of the town of Yahmar al-Shaqif.

The response operations also included the destruction of an Israeli military vehicle and the targeting of a bulldozer in the town of Bayada using drones, which led to it catching fire completely. The shelling also targeted an artillery position in the town of Adayssa and technical jamming devices in the town of Rashaf, in an attempt to disrupt the occupation's monitoring capabilities.

Official statistics issued by Lebanese authorities indicate that the widespread aggression that began in March 2026 has so far resulted in 2988 martyrs and more than nine thousand wounded. Continuous military operations have caused the displacement of more than one million people from their villages and towns, creating a worsening humanitarian crisis in shelters.

Observers believe that the recent escalation puts the ceasefire agreement at stake, especially after the decision to extend it for an additional 45 days last Friday. Field sources insist that the occupation seeks to impose a new reality on the ground through intensive air raids, which the resistance is countering with precise attrition operations.

Amid this complex scene, Lebanese ambulance and civil defense teams continue to remove rubble and search for missing persons in the targeted sites. International fears are growing of the situation sliding into a comprehensive confrontation that goes beyond the current border clashes, in the absence of real guarantees that oblige the occupation to stop its aggressions.

Our operations came in defense of Lebanon and its people, and in response to the Israeli enemy's violation of the ceasefire and its continuous aggressions.
