Hezbollah claims four attacks on Israeli targets near Lebanon-Israel border

Lebanese armed group Hezbollah says it has hit four Israeli targets today, in response to the Israeli army’s attacks on homes and villages in southern Lebanon.

It said on its Telegram channel that it launched an air attack on the Beit Hillel military base in northern Israel. Its snipers also “directly hit the newly-developed spy equipment at the Miskaf General site” which is also in northern Israel. Hezbollah said it targeted a building used by Israeli soldiers in northern Israel’s Margaliot settlement and confirmed injuries.

We reported earlier about Hezbollah’s claim of attack on the al-Malikiyah site used by Israeli forces during border fighting. Rockets and artillery shells were used and a drone dropped explosives with precision, Hezbollah claimed.

 

Lebanon’s Hezbollah says it fires rockets at northern Israel

The Iran-aligned Lebanese group says it has launched a barrage of rockets at northern Israel in response to a deadly Israeli strike outside a south Lebanon hospital earlier in the day.

Hezbollah fighters fired “dozens of Katyusha rockets” at northern Israel “in response to the Israeli enemy attack that targeted the Martyr Salah Ghandour Hospital in Bint Jbeil”, the group said in a statement.

Air raid sirens sounded in northern Israel, according to the Israeli military.

Earlier in the day, Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency (NNA) said “an enemy drone” targeted “a motorcycle near the Salah Ghandour Hospital in the town of Bint Jbeil”, killing one person and wounding others.

Hezbollah has traded regular cross-border fire with Israel since the day after Hamas’s October 7 attacks on southern Israel.

 

Houthis claim attacks on three ships, two US destroyers in nearby seas

Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis say they have launched attacks on three ships in the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea and two US destroyers in the Red Sea.

There has been no statement confirming these attacks from the United States Army at this time.

The Houthis, who describe their attacks on ships as acts of solidarity with Palestinians in Israel’s war in Gaza, named three of the ships as the Larego Desert and the MSC Mechela in the Indian Ocean, and the Minerva Lisa in the Red Sea.


US says drone shot down over Red Sea

The US Central Command (CENTCOM) says it has destroyed one uncrewed aerial system (UAS) launched from an area controlled by Yemen’s Houthi group.

“It was determined the UAS presented an imminent threat to merchant vessels in the region,” it said in a post on X.

Israel demolishes Palestinian homes in West Bank’s Hizma and Tubas: UN

The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) is reporting new demolitions of Palestinian homes in Hizma and Tubas in the occupied West Bank. Israeli forces have demolished at least 10,769 structures in the occupied West Bank since 2009, displacing at least 16,332 people, according to UN data.

“Demolitions are typically carried out due to lack of Israeli-issued permits, which are nearly impossible to obtain, but in some cases the circumstances are different, including punitive demolitions and demolitions carried out as part of military activities,” OCHA said.
