Four Hezbollah members said killed as Israel strikes terror cell in southern Lebanon
A local Hezbollah official and three other members of the Iran-aligned terror group were killed late on Wednesday in an Israeli strike on southern Lebanon, two security sources tell Reuters.
The strike brings the death toll in Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon on Wednesday to nine Hezbollah members in one of the deadliest days for the group since it began exchanging cross-border fire with Israel in October.
The IDF says in a statement that it carried out an strike against a terror cell operating in the southern Lebanese village of Yaroun.
In another unspecified area of south Lebanon, the IDF says it targeted Hezbollah’s observation capabilities and other “military infrastructure” manned by the terror group’s operatives.
Several projectiles were fired from Lebanon at northern Israel a short while ago, which the IDF says all landed in open areas near the community of Goren.
Hezbollah names 3 members killed amid cross-border clashes
Hezbollah announces the deaths of three members of the terror group, bringing the number of operatives killed Wednesday to five, as the sides continue to exchange fire across the increasingly volatile border.
The three are named as Muhammad Akram Hamad, Abbas Hussein Zaher and Hassan Ali Daqiq.
The group claims it targeted a group of Israeli soldiers near Shomera on the border “with appropriate weapons” at 8:55 p.m.
Lebanon’s Hezbollah-affiliated al-Meyadeen news site reports Israeli strikes on the town of Naqoura, on the southern Lebanese coast.
Germans advised to leave Lebanon swiftly as war winds blow north
Germany is urging its citizens to leave Lebanon quickly, warning that the Israel-Hamas war could expand after a strike in Beirut killed a senior Hamas leader.
“All German citizens, who are still in Lebanon, are asked to register on the ELEFAND crisis preparedness list and to leave the country as quickly as possible,” writes the German foreign ministry on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The warning comes after a meeting Wednesday of the German government’s crisis unit.
“A further deterioration of the situation and expansion of the conflict cannot be ruled out, especially given the killing of Saleh al-Arouri,” the political number two of Hamas in Beirut on Tuesday, the ministry writes. “This applies above all to the southern part of Lebanon, up to and including the southern urban areas of Beirut.”
