In response, Israeli artillery shelled the vicinity of the town of Kafr Shuba and conducted raids in the Wadi Al-Azziya area, both in southern Lebanon.

ALBAWABA- Hezbollah fighters have claimed responsibility for multiple attacks in Southern Lebanon. They targeted the Ruwaisat al-Alam site in the occupied Lebanese Kfar Shuba hills and achieved a direct hit. 

Additionally, Hezbollah launched two unmanned drones to attack the Maale Golan barracks and targeted a force of enemy soldiers in the Metula colony, resulting in casualties.

In response, Israeli artillery shelled the vicinity of the town of Kafr Shuba and conducted raids in the Wadi Al-Azziya area, both in southern Lebanon. 

The situation is rapidly escalating, with Hezbollah launching one of its heaviest missile barrages towards the Galilee region two days prior. 

These attacks have caused widespread electricity outages, with many missiles successfully hitting their intended targets from Lebanese territory. 

Tensions remain high as both sides continue to exchange fire, raising concerns about further escalation beyond the Lebanese-Israeli borders.
