Escalating Tensions in South Lebanon: Israeli Provocations and Confrontations with Hezbollah

2023-10-28 11:33:48

South Lebanon is living under the rhythm of ongoing alert and tension, as the Israeli occupation forces continue their provocations, this time also by violating the rules of engagement with a drone that targeted with three missiles a site in Jabal Safi, north of the Litani River, and at a depth of about 20 kilometers of fire line from the border strip. It is noteworthy that the confrontations before were within a range of 5 km, and this is the second time since the beginning of the confrontations that Israel has resorted to targeting areas of this depth. Last Saturday night, an Israeli drone targeted the “Birket al-Jabour” area in Jabal al-Rayhan.

While the Israeli drones continued to fly, Hezbollah fired a surface-to-air missile towards one of the marches, but it did not succeed in hitting or shooting it down, so it was shot down by a missile fired from the Iron Dome in the Upper Galilee.

On Saturday afternoon, the outskirts of Naqoura – the Jal al-Alam area were also bombed, and the Israeli army fired more than 20 incendiary shells at the outskirts of Labouneh in Naqoura. An Israeli 155 mm shell fell in the courtyard of Issam Alyan’s house in Labouneh – the town of Naqoura without exploding. The outskirts of the town of Alma al-Shaab in the western sector were also subjected to Israeli artillery shelling with phosphorus shells, causing fires to break out. The firefighting teams of the Civil Defense of the Islamic Message Scouts Association in Alma Al-Shaab were targeted by the Israeli army with 7 direct shells, forcing them to withdraw. An Israeli march also carried out 3 raids targeting the American Hill and an open area in Jabal Safi in the Iqlim al-Tuffah region. Heavy spy aircraft flights were recorded over the area since the morning, at medium altitude.

Israeli army spokesman Avichai Adraee wrote in a post on his account on the “X” platform: “An IDF drone raided a cell of terrorists that was trying to launch anti-tank missiles from Lebanon towards Israeli territory in the area of ​​the town of Hanita.”
