Two Thai workers were injured on the Israeli side, and 3 members of the Lebanese Hezbollah were killed with renewed confrontations today (Saturday) between the party and the Israeli army along the border, amid fears of opening a new front, while the war between Hamas and Israel continues.

On Friday, Israel ordered the evacuation of the border town of Kiryat Shmona, inhabited by about 25,000 people in the north, after repeated confrontations with Hezbollah fighters on the border with Lebanon.

Hezbollah reported that 3 of its members were killed, while Israeli medics indicated that two Thai citizens working in agriculture in northern Israel were injured today (Saturday), due to bombing near the Margaliot area on the border with Lebanon.

Since fighting broke out along the border, at least four people have been killed in Israel; They are three soldiers and one civilian, according to Agence France-Presse. In Lebanon, the escalation has so far resulted in the killing of 24 people, the majority of whom are Hezbollah fighters, in addition to 5 fighters from Palestinian factions and four civilians, including a photographer for the Reuters news agency.

In Beirut, Deputy Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Naim Qassem, said today (Saturday): “We are concerned and we are part of this battle. Let it be clear: whenever events follow and something arises that calls for our greater intervention, we will do so.”

He added: “It is a stage that we believe is compatible with confrontation, and if matters require more than that, we will be present in the field with the resistance as an integral part of the confrontation project so that Israel does not win.”

Today's clashes coincided with Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant inspecting the northern border, where he called on soldiers to remain "vigilant." “Hezbollah has decided to participate in the fighting, and it is paying the price for that,” Gallant said.

We must be vigilant and prepare for every possible scenario, adding: “Great challenges await us.”

Hezbollah and Israel fought a devastating war in the summer of 2006, which left more than 1,200 dead on the Lebanese side, most of them civilians, and 160 dead on the Israeli side, most of them military. The war, which lasted 34 days, caused the displacement of about one million Lebanese from their towns.
