The conflict between Israel and Hezbollah that began on October 7 has persisted, with both sides engaging in military actions along the Lebanon-Israel border. On Saturday, the Israel Defense Forces reported approximately 10 launches from southern Lebanon, prompting the activation of sirens five times in the morning.
The IDF conducted airstrikes on a Hezbollah structure in Aita al-Shaab and targeted a suspected terrorist in Kfar Kila. However, independent verification of the IDF's claims regarding the presence of terrorist infrastructure is not available.
In retaliation, Hezbollah struck two buildings allegedly used by the IDF in Shlomi, northern Israel. Hezbollah accused Israel of targeting civilian homes in Aita al-Shaab, with reports of a house being destroyed in the attack. The claim about civilian homes has not been independently confirmed.
Hezbollah also claimed to have destroyed 'spy equipment' at the IDF's Hanita site. The exchange of fire resulted in the death of another Hezbollah fighter.
Further clashes occurred as Hezbollah targeted a military site and IDF soldiers in the Ruwaisat Al-Alam site, located in the occupied Lebanese Kfar Shuba Hills. The ongoing conflict has led Israel to evacuate communities along the Lebanese border.
Hezbollah, a Lebanese armed group supported by Iran, maintains its stronghold in southern Lebanon, where the majority of the fighting with Israel has taken place. The escalation of hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah in the border region has intensified since the beginning of the recent conflict with Hamas on October 7.
