Hezbollah announced that it successfully repelled Israeli forces attempting to infiltrate the Lebanese town of Adaisseh early Wednesday, forcing them to retreat. This incident highlights ongoing tensions along the Lebanon-Israel border, with Hezbollah asserting its readiness to confront any incursions56.
Israeli Military Operations
Kabul 24: The Israeli military reported that troops entered Lebanon late Monday, although it remains unclear if they are still present. In a surprising revelation, Israel disclosed that its ground forces have been conducting covert operations in Lebanon for the past year, with Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari stating that the current raid marks an escalation of these activities14.
Lack of Confirmation from Local Authorities
Neither the Lebanese army nor UNIFIL (the UN peacekeeping force) has confirmed the Israeli incursion. However, UNIFIL indicated it was informed of potential Israeli movements across the border. A military source noted that Israeli troops were operating close to the border, targeting small villages23.
Hezbollah’s Resilience Amid Attacks
Despite recent heavy bombardments by Israel, Hezbollah fighters reportedly remain active in the area, utilizing localities for launching attacks and storing weapons. The ongoing conflict has escalated fears of further military confrontations in southern Lebanon16.
