Hezbollah fighters and Israeli forces continue to be involved in direct clashes in southern Lebanon, with the Iran-backed militia claiming that Israeli soldiers had tried to enter the village of Ramyah in the border area.
Hezbollah fighters had detonated an explosive near the troops. “The clashes continue,” Hezbollah said.
Hezbollah-affiliated broadcaster Al Mayadeen reported that Israeli soldiers had hidden behind a post of the UN monitoring mission UNIFIL in Ramyah. Israel, in turn, accuses the militia of using the posts of UN soldiers as human shields.
The Israeli army reported that a reservist and an officer were seriously injured in several clashes in southern Lebanon. Others were also reportedly injured among the army’s ranks. The injured had been evacuated.
Four Israeli divisions are so far involved in the Israeli ground offensive in Lebanon. Israel keeps secret the strength and number of troops that have entered the neighboring country.
They appear to have crossed or attempted to cross the demarcation line in four different parts of the border area: in the Naqoura region on the Mediterranean coast and in three parts further east at Ramyah, in the greater Bint Jbeil area and further north. near Adaisseh.
