مخيم للنازحين السوريين بجنوب لبنان

The Israeli army continues to bombard Lebanese areas while Hezbollah persists in launching rockets toward Israeli territory, with ground clashes ongoing between its fighters and Israeli forces, which are making advances in several southern towns near the border.

In the latest field developments, correspondents from "Al Arabiya" and "Al Hadath" reported that a Lebanese army center in the Al-Amariyah area was targeted by four shells from Al-Bayadah, resulting in one fatality and several injuries.

The National News Agency reported that the intensity of clashes between Hezbollah fighters and the Israeli army has increased on the Shamaa-Tair Harfa axis, with the Israeli army bombarding the mentioned towns while intensifying reconnaissance and drone flights over the area of the skirmishes.

The town of Khyam experienced one of the hardest and fiercest nights since the beginning of the Israeli ground offensive, as the Israeli army continued its incursion into Khyam under heavy fire cover, with artillery shelling various neighborhoods and conducting multiple airstrikes that caused extensive destruction to properties. The army also booby-trapped homes and shops and detonated an entire neighborhood in the western part of the town.

Notably, some residents in the area received automated phone calls from the Israeli army warning them about being near overlooking areas and threatening that anyone taking pictures would be considered a target.

In Deir Mimas, the Israeli army carried out several explosions under St. Mimas Monastery and launched attacks on the valleys and mountains surrounding the town, near the Shakif Fortress and the banks of the Litani River.

The Israeli army also completely severed the Khardali road connecting Nabatieh to Marjeyoun by attacking it and creating a large gap to prevent the passage of any vehicles or machinery.

On Sunday, Hezbollah announced its targeting of a "military objective" in Tel Aviv and a naval base in southern Israel, following a heavy Israeli assault on downtown Beirut that resulted in the deaths of at least 20 people.

Hezbollah stated in a release that its fighters conducted, for the first time on Sunday morning, an aerial attack using a swarm of kamikaze drones on the Ashdod naval base, which is located 150 kilometers from the Lebanese border, also announcing a “combined operation” targeting a "military objective" in Tel Aviv with a salvo of high-quality missiles and a swarm of kamikaze drones.

Earlier, correspondents from "Al Arabiya" and "Al Hadath" reported that five long-range rockets were launched from Lebanon toward Tel Aviv and central Israel, activating sirens in several areas.

Additionally, the Israeli army issued evacuation warnings to residents of five towns in southern Lebanon, urging them to relocate to areas north of the Awali River. The army spokesperson called on residents of Zour Tarik, Zour Al-Gharbi, Arnon, Yehmor, and Al-Qusaybah to evacuate, stating that heading south would endanger their lives.

According to official reports, the death toll from Israeli airstrikes across various regions in Lebanon has risen to 3,670, with over 15,000 others injured since the war began. Just yesterday, more than 50 people were killed in Israeli strikes in Lebanon, particularly in Beirut.
