3 wounded as a result of the Israeli bombing of southern Lebanon
Three people were injured and ten homes were damaged as a result of the Israeli bombing that targeted villages and border towns today (Wednesday) in the western sector of southern Lebanon, according to the official Lebanese media.
The official Lebanese National News Agency reported that the morning Israeli "attacks" on border villages and towns in the western sector caused significant damage to property and agricultural fields.
She added, "Three people were injured in the town of Marwahin, in addition to about 10 homes being directly hit," noting that "the main tank that supplies water to the southern town of Yarin was targeted."
Israel bombed several Lebanese border towns with artillery today after Hezbollah announced that it had targeted an Israeli site opposite the Lebanese border area of Al-Dahira with guided missiles.
On Tuesday, Hezbollah mourned three of its members who were killed in an Israeli bombing the day before yesterday on border areas in southern Lebanon.
In a related context, the official spokesman for the United Nations Forces operating in southern Lebanon (UNIFIL), Andrea Tenenti, said in a statement, “UNIFIL continues its presence and operational tasks, and our basic work continues, and the UNIFIL leadership is in constant contact with the authorities on both sides of the Blue Line and urges restraint.”
In turn, the Lebanese Army Command announced in a statement that a missile platform had been found in the Qulaila Plain in southern Lebanon carrying a dismantled missile.
The statement said, "After a survey and inspection of the border areas, an army unit in the Qulaila Plain found the platform from which a number of missiles were launched yesterday, and it was carrying a missile that the specialized unit worked to dismantle."
Over the past few days, the situation has escalated on the Lebanese-Israeli border, after Hezbollah on Sunday launched missiles towards military sites in the Shebaa Farms in support of the “Al-Aqsa Flood” operation launched by the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) last Saturday morning, and Israeli forces responded by firing artillery. Heavy weapons targeted several areas in eastern and southern Lebanon.
Tensions were renewed again on Monday after elements of the Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad movement in Palestine, infiltrated from Lebanon into northern Israel and clashed with Israeli forces.
This prompted the Israelis to bomb several areas in southern Lebanon, killing three Hezbollah members, who responded by bombing the Israeli Pranit and Avivim barracks in northern Israel with guided missiles and mortar shells.
