Hezbollah announced it struck Israeli forces at the edge of Tebnit village — an implicit confirmation that IDF ground troops have advanced to that area. The group said the attack occurred at 07:00 local time this morning. This is the latest in a series of southern Lebanon villages where the IDF has operated in recent weeks.
Hezbollah acknowledged on Monday afternoon that Israeli ground forces have reached the outskirts of Tebnit (also known as Tabnit), a village near Nabatieh in southern Lebanon. In a statement, the organization said it attacked Israeli forces at the edge of the village at 07:00 local time.
The admission follows a series of Israeli ground advances into Southern Lebanon villages that The Zioneer has tracked over the past week. On June 8, the IDF struck targets in Tebnit, and by June 11, Lebanese media video showed IDF armored vehicles between Al-Khardali and Kfar Tabnit. On June 10, Hezbollah claimed attacks on two IDF vehicles near Majdal Zoun to the west.
The village lies roughly 6 km north of the Israeli border, in a sector where Israeli ground forces have not previously operated openly in recent years. The IDF has not commented on the Hezbollah statement. No casualties or details on the extent of the ground presence have been reported.
