SOUTH LEBANON — The security situation remains tense in southern Lebanon, where the Israeli army continued its strikes, artillery fire, and demolition operations in several localities on Tuesday.
A drone strike targeting a car on the outskirts of Nabatieh left four people injured, according to our correspondent in the south, while the health ministry counted two.
Responders from the al-Rissala Scouts, affiliated with the Amal Movement, were dispatched to assist those targeted and were themselves attacked by a drone strike. An ambulance was damaged, but no casualties were reported among the rescuers.
Still in the Nabatieh district, Israeli artillery struck the outskirts of Zawtar Sharqieh, where demolition operations also took place. A fire also broke out on the outskirts of Nabatieh Fawqa, below the Tallet al-Debesh area, after Israeli artillery fire.
In the Bint Jbeil district, Israeli tanks advanced from Haddatha toward the outskirts of Aita al-Jabal, alongside automatic weapon fire in the area. In Kafra, the Israeli army launched a stun grenade, causing no injuries. In Robb Thalathin, in the Marjayoun district, the Israeli army destroyed homes and roads, our correspondent reported.
Ali Taher targeted by Israeli army
The Israeli army had already continued its escalation in southern Lebanon overnight from Monday to Tuesday, particularly on the strategic hill of Ali Taher, in the Nabatieh district, our correspondent reported.
On Monday evening, the Israeli artillery fired several missiles on Ali Taher, an area surrounded by the Israeli army. The army could soon launch an operation there if the Lebanese army does not agree to enter, take control, and dismantle Hezbollah's military infrastructure.
Missiles also landed in Mansouri, in the Sour district, while explosions were heard in communal lands in the area. Two airstrikes by Israeli fighter jets then destroyed houses in the area. The Israeli army also demolished homes in Qantara and Adshit al-Qsair, in the Marjayoun district.
Later in the night, new strikes targeted Ali Taher, and two demolition operations were reported in Taybeh, in the Marjayoun district. Explosions and strikes were heard in several villages in the Sour and Nabatieh districts. After 1 a.m., Israeli artillery struck Wadi Hojeir, near Qantara, while artillery fire also targeted the Ali Taher forest.
