Hezbollah Reports Clashes with Israeli Forces in Southern Lebanon
(MENAFN) The Lebanese group Hezbollah announced early Thursday that its fighters engaged Israeli troops in southern Lebanon, using a combination of light and medium weaponry along with rocket-propelled munitions during confrontations near the town of Qantara, according to reports.
The group also stated that it struck an Israeli Merkava tank with a guided missile, asserting that the attack successfully hit its target.
There was no immediate response from the Israeli military regarding these claims.
Earlier in the day, sirens were activated across the greater Tel Aviv area after rockets were reportedly fired from Lebanon. Hezbollah previously indicated that it had launched “precision missiles” toward Israeli military locations in the city.
According to the group, the intended targets included the Kirya complex, which houses Israel’s Defense Ministry, as well as the Dolphin barracks linked to the Military Intelligence Directorate in central Israel.
The escalation follows intensified Israeli military action in Lebanon, including sustained airstrikes and a ground operation in the south, launched after a cross-border assault by Hezbollah on March 2, as stated by reports.
Lebanese officials report that at least 1,094 people have been killed and 3,119 others injured as a result of Israeli attacks since then.
The rising tensions are unfolding alongside a broader US-Israeli campaign against Iran that has reportedly resulted in more than 1,340 deaths since Feb. 28. In response, Iran has carried out drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, as well as locations in Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf states, saying these attacks are directed at US military positions.
