Despite ceasefire, Israel says it ‘eliminates’ Hezbollah fighters in south Lebanon village

The Israeli army says it has operated in “several” areas in southern Lebanon in which “violation” of the ceasefire happened over the past day.

In a statement on Telegram, the army said soldiers identified “several armed terrorists” near a church in southern Lebanon that had been used by Hezbollah on Saturday.

“The troops fired toward the terrorists and eliminated them. The eliminated terrorists were operatives in the Hezbollah Khiam ground defence, anti-tank missile and artillery units, and shot at the troops from the church,” the army wrote.

Lebanon’s official National News Agency reported a short time ago that several Israeli artillery shells were fired at Khiam, a village on the southern border of Lebanon, one of which hit a home.

Under the terms of the ceasefire, Hezbollah fighters are expected to retreat from southern Lebanon to north of the Litani River and Israeli troops are to withdraw from Lebanon back to their side of the border


Yemen’s Houthis attack US destroyer and 3 military supply ships

The group claims it has targeted the vessels with 16 ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as a drone, in a joint military operation in the Arabian Sea and Gulf of Aden.

In a statement, Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree identified the supply ships as “the Stena Impeccable, Maersk Saratoga and Liberty Grace”, without specifying the name of the destroyer. The operation achieved “precise and direct hits,” he added.

Saree vowed that the group’s forces “will continue to carry out their military operations with escalating intensity in the declared maritime operational zone against Israeli and American enemies and will not stop unless the aggression ends and the siege on Gaza is lifted.”

There have been no comments from Washington regarding the Houthi statement.

So far this claim is only carried here, so take with a bucket of salt.
