Lebanese authorities have documented more than 8,500 Israeli raids since March 2, which, according to the Health Ministry, have killed 3,073 people and wounded 9,362 others, including women and children.
Hezbollah, meanwhile, said it carried out two new attacks against Israeli forces “in retaliation for Israeli ceasefire violations and strikes on southern Lebanese villages that caused civilian casualties.” In separate statements, the group noted that it shelled Israeli troop and vehicle gatherings near Deir Siryan and targeted a Merkava tank near al-Taybeh with a suicide drone, claiming a direct hit.
On the Israeli side, Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir stated that Israeli forces remain on “maximum alert” and prepared for any developments.
