Hezbollah launched on May 29 six attacks against border sites of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) from its heartland, southern Lebanon.
A “combined attack” with rockets and suicide drones carrying bombs targeted the al-Baghdadi site, Hezbollah said in a statement, claiming that operational and observatory buildings in the site were destroyed and Israeli troops were killed or wounded.
In five other statements, the group said its fighters struck surveillance equipment in al-Rahib site, targeted a gathering of Israeli troops near the site of Hersh Shtula and shelled the sites of al-Samaqa, Zabdin and Ramia with rockets and artillery.
The attacks were carried out “in support of the steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and to back their brave and honorable resistance,” Hezbollah noted in all of its statements.
Separately, the group’s Military Media released video footage showing a “focused fire attack” that targeted the IDF’s al-Malikiyah site two days earlier.
Hezbollah’s latest attacks didn’t result in any casualties. Still, the IDF responded with a fresh wave of strikes on southern Lebanon.
Israeli fighter jets struck a Hezbollah position in the town of Khiam, the military said in a statement, adding that its troops also shelled areas near the towns of Hamoul, Kafr Kila and Naqoura with artillery. There were no reports of casualties by Lebanese media.
Since the outbreak of the Israeli war on Gaza last October, Hezbollah and its allies began launching near-daily attacks against the IDF in support of the Hamas Movement and other Palestinian armed factions in the Strip.
So far, the border clashes have resulted in ten civilian deaths on the Israeli side, as well as the deaths of at least 14 IDF soldiers and reservists. On the Lebanese side, more than 400 people have been killed, including 304 fighters of Hezbollah and at least 80 civilians.
