The Israeli armed forces have also continued airstrikes on the southern part of Beirut, the capital of Lebanon.
Israeli ground forces advanced deeper into Lebanon on Saturday than at any time since Israel began its ground offensive against Hezbollah more than six weeks ago. This is reported by the Lebanese state media.
According to the state-run NNA, Israeli forces temporarily gained control of the strategic hill in the village of Šama’a, which is located about five kilometers from the Israeli border. Later, however, the troops had to withdraw.
Lebanese media reports that Israeli forces blew up a shrine and several residential buildings in the village. However, the AP news agency has not been able to confirm the information. The Israeli army did not respond to AP’s request for comment.
In addition, the Israeli armed forces have continued airstrikes on the southern part of Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, which is an area of activity for Hezbollah. It has also carried out airstrikes elsewhere, such as the southern Lebanese port city of Tyre. According to NNA, an airstrike on the northeastern village of Khraibe killed a couple and their four children.
Israel’s military says it will strike Hezbollah targets.
