A cautious relative calm prevailed over most of the villages and towns of the Tyre and Bint Jbeil districts in the early hours of Friday morning, following a night that witnessed intense military movements. Despite this calm, Israeli warplanes carried out a raid targeting the Arid Debbin area, while a drone strike hit the town of Jebshit in the Nabatieh district.
Field sources reported that the occupation army carried out a large-scale detonation operation in the town of Khiam from the plain side during the late night hours. These movements come after a bloody day that witnessed unprecedented escalation, as Israeli shelling affected more than 40 Lebanese towns through air raids and suicide drone attacks.
Israeli attacks focused violently on the western sector, especially in the Tyre and Abbasiyah areas, leading to the martyrdom of a number of people and injuries among civilians. The town of Deir Qanoun Al-Nahr also suffered a series of raids that left widespread destruction to property and infrastructure in the town.
Regarding ground confrontations, attention is currently focused on the Majdal Zoun – Tayr Harfa axis, where fierce clashes are taking place between Hezbollah fighters and occupation forces. Israeli units are trying to advance towards the eastern neighborhoods of Majdal Zoun under heavy artillery and air cover.
Hezbollah announced in military statements that it carried out a tight ambush against an Israeli force that tried to advance from the Tayr Harfa side towards Wadi Hassan. Sources confirmed that the fighters targeted gatherings of soldiers with direct rocket salvos, forcing the advancing force to retreat and take cover in nearby fortifications.
In the city of Bint Jbeil, an Israeli tank was destroyed after being targeted by a guided missile, which caused it to catch fire and be completely disabled. Following the operation, Hezbollah fighters targeted military vehicles that tried to advance to pull out the destroyed tank, which hampered the evacuation process for several hours.
Field readings indicate that the Israeli army is focusing its efforts on controlling the strategic heights of Majdal Zoun and Mansouri overlooking the Blue Line. The occupation aims, through these movements, to reach the heights of Ali Al-Taher, in an attempt to re-impose a security belt that existed before the withdrawal in 2000.
On the other side of the border, sources confirmed that the pace of Hezbollah attacks remains constant at an average of 15 to 20 attacks daily targeting military sites. Reports from inside the occupied territories speak of daily casualties among soldiers, with the wounded constantly being transferred to Rambam Hospital in Haifa.
In the context of the ground incursion, the Israeli army announced that its forces had reached the Wadi Al-Salouqi area, a complex geographical area through which the occupation seeks to secure overlooking heights. These movements coincide with the sound of sirens in the border settlements as a result of continuous rocket barrages and ground interception operations.
As for the political aspect related to the field, Hebrew media reported a state of dissatisfaction among the American administration regarding field coordination in Lebanon. The Israeli government insists on imposing tangible field conditions and changing the geographical reality on the border before entering into any serious negotiations for a ceasefire.
The occupation seeks to reshape the security belt by controlling strategic heights facing the Blue Line.
