Shafaq News- Beirut
Israeli warplanes carried out airstrikes on several villages
in southern Lebanon on Monday, while Hezbollah continued targeting Israeli
forces at their positions.
Air raids struck the villages of Habboush, Shoukine, Majdal
Zoun, and Zawtar al-Sharqiya, while artillery shelling targeted Frun, Haris,
Nabatieh al-Fawqa, Ali Al-Taher, and Mifadoun, according to Lebanese media
outlets.
Hezbollah said in separate statements that it had carried
out ten operations against Israeli forces in southern Lebanon. The group
reported using explosive drones to strike a Nimr military vehicle that was
attempting to tow a D9 bulldozer previously destroyed during clashes in the
Khallat Raj area near Deir Seryan. Another D9 bulldozer was targeted in Rashaf
using a similar drone attack.
The group also noted that it targeted a Merkava tank in
Qawzah and launched rocket attacks on Israeli troops in Bayada, after striking two
other Merkava tanks there with guided missiles.
The Israeli military announced that five soldiers have been
killed and 33 wounded since the announcement of a ceasefire with Lebanon on
April 17, adding that three of the fatalities were caused by drone attacks and
two by explosive devices, while 31 soldiers were injured in separate drone
strikes.
Since March 2, Israeli strikes have killed 2,696 people and
wounded 8,264 others across Lebanon, according to the Health Ministry.
