Hezbollah claims attack on Israeli soldiers in Yiftah
Lebanon’s Hezbollah armed group has claimed its fighters carried out an air attack against an Israeli army position in the Yiftah settlement on the eastern side of the Lebanon-Israel border.
The group said in a statement on Telegram that a swarm of drones hit the tents of Israeli soldiers, “causing confirmed casualties”.
The cross-border attacks have become a daily occurrence on the Lebanon-Israel border since Israel’s war on Gaza started on October 7 last year.
Hezbollah has said it will stop its attacks on northern Israel only when there is a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.
Israeli attack sparks fires in southern Lebanon
A drone attack has caused a blaze to break out in the border village of Adaisseh, in southern Lebanon, the state-run news agency NNA reported.
Artillery shelling on the town of Meiss el-Jabal also caused a large fire to break out, the agency reported, adding that civil defence teams were deployed to the area.
Israeli fighter jets also conducted mock attacks on the city of Tyre, Lebanon’s fourth largest, breaking the sound and triggering loud explosions in the air.
