From Friday night into Saturday, the Israeli military intensified its strikes in southern Lebanon amid escalating regional tensions between Israel and Iran.
The Israeli army fired bursts of gunfire from the radar site toward the outskirts of Shebaa on Saturday.
Lebanese army units, including engineering teams, intelligence forces, and the intervention regiment, recovered a stolen bulldozer in the Karkazan neighborhood of Mays al-Jabal. This came after Israeli forces moved the bulldozer, seized the previous day, into Lebanese territory, specifically the Karkazan sector. They dug a trench and erected an embankment around the machine.
The Lebanese Army, in coordination with UNIFIL, also removed the earthen barriers erected by the occupation forces following their repeated incursions into Krum al-Mrah on the outskirts of Mays al-Jabal.
Meanwhile, residents of the town of Al-Sultaniyeh intercepted a large UNIFIL patrol attempting to enter the valley adjacent to the town without Lebanese Army accompaniment.
Shortly after midnight on Friday, an Israeli drone carried out a guided missile strike targeting a room used as a fish market near Naqoura port. The attack caused significant material damage to the shop and its contents. Local sources reported that the strike did not cause civilian casualties but triggered panic in the area due to the proximity of the targeted site to residential neighborhoods and vital economic facilities.
Israeli army Arabic spokesperson Avichay Adraee, in a post on X, said, “A naval unit of the Israeli Air Force attacked a military building belonging to Hezbollah's Radwan Force last night in the Naqoura area in southern Lebanon.”
“The building was targeted based on intelligence obtained following the interrogation of a Hezbollah member several weeks ago,” the post added.
An Israeli drone also targeted a motorcycle in the center of the town of Baraachit in the Bint Jbeil district. Hussein Daher was killed, according to Lebanon's Ministry of Health. The Israeli army claimed he was a Hezbollah fighter. Another civilian was reportedly injured in the attack.
During the previous night, Israeli airstrikes also targeted areas between Shbail and Sarirah, Tumat Niha, Al-Mahmoudiyeh near Khardali, and the outskirts of Al-Aishiyeh.
