Hezbollah announced it struck IDF forces at the edge of the village of Majdal Zoun in southern Lebanon — a statement that implicitly confirms Israeli ground forces have advanced to the area. The village lies about 6 km north of the Israeli communities of Adamit and Arab al-Aramsha, a sector where the IDF had not operated in years, according to Israeli media.
Hezbollah announced it struck IDF forces at the outskirts of the village of Majdal Zoun in southern Lebanon's western sector — a statement that implicitly confirms Israeli ground forces have advanced to that area. The group acknowledged the troops had crossed the 'yellow line' into the village's edge. The village lies about 6 km north of the Israeli communities of Adamit and Arab al-Aramsha, a sector where the IDF had not operated in years, according to Israeli media.
This development follows a sequence of events reported in the same area over recent days. At 14:31 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that Hezbollah claimed a drone attack on IDF troops near Majdal Zoun; within the same minute, the IDF confirmed a suspected Hezbollah drone struck near its forces in southern Lebanon, initially reporting no injuries, then updating that injuries were actually caused. Earlier this week, on June 10, Hezbollah claimed it struck two Israeli military vehicles and engaged in clashes with an advancing force near Majdal Zoun, as The Zioneer reported. The group also reported an attempted IDF push toward the village on June 12. Further east, open-source tracking on June 8 indicated IDF advances toward the villages of Tabnit and Yahoun.
Hezbollah military statements remain the sole source for these claims. The IDF has not commented on the specific advance to Majdal Zoun's outskirts. The sector had been relatively quieter compared to the eastern front; the reported advance into ground unseen by Israeli forces for years marks a potentially significant operational development.
No confirmation of casualties or the extent of Israeli control has emerged from official Israeli channels. The current claim remains unverified.
