Tensions persisted on Thursday as Israel carried out multiple strikes across southern Lebanon, targeting vehicles and prefabricated structures.
At around 9 PM, Israeli Apache helicopters fired missiles at prefabricated lodgings in Naqoura, setting off sirens at the nearby UNIFIL (United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon) base. This occurred hours after an Israeli drone attack on a vehicle in the town of Alma al-Shaab, which injured one person.
According to local reports, the victim was a civilian who worked in aluminum window installation. Shortly after the strike, Israeli army Arabic spokesperson Avichay Adraee declared that the target was a Hezbollah member operating in the area.
Earlier on Thursday, an Israeli drone also targeted a small van traveling between Bint Jbeil and Yaroun in the Doura region, injuring two people.
In a separate statement on social media, Adraee held Lebanon accountable for the developments on its soil, stating, “the State of Lebanon bears responsibility for what happens within its territory, and we will continue to safeguard the security of Israeli citizens.”
The escalation began at dawn, with Israeli airstrikes pounding Naqoura, shaking the region with multiple raids. A prefabricated house in the city center was hit, and Civil Defense vehicles were damaged.
In response, the head of the local municipal council called on the ceasefire monitoring committee and UNIFIL to closely assess the situation.
