Shafaq News- Beirut
Israeli forces carried out airstrikes and artillery shelling
on several villages in southern Lebanon on Monday, while Hezbollah announced
two separate operations targeting Israeli forces since the morning.
Israeli air raids struck the villages of Borj Kalawyh,
Sarifa, Kfar Tibnit, Sajd, Jabal al-Rafi, Debaal, Shhour, Braachit, and Qana.
Artillery fire also targeted the towns of Zawtar al-Gharbiyeh, Mifadoun, and Henniya.
In response, Hezbollah said in two separate statements that
it had targeted a gathering of Israeli vehicles and soldiers in the village of
Al-Qantara using rockets, as well as a newly established command position in
Al-Bayada, using explosive-laden drones that “hit their targets accurately.”
The group also published video footage showing attacks on an
Israeli military vehicle and a bulldozer in Al-Bayada and Bint Jbeil using
drone strikes.
According to Lebanese authorities, more than 8,500 Israeli
violations —including excavation and bulldozing operations, shelling, and the
use of phosphorus munitions were recorded since March 2. The Lebanese Health
Ministry has recorded 2,679 deaths and 8,229 injuries nationwide.
The Israeli army reported 735 injuries among its officers
and soldiers since early March, including 44 in critical condition and 100
moderately injured, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said a
“special project” to counter drone threats is underway, noting that progress
will take time.
