Hezbollah fires anti-tank missiles and rockets at IDF forces in southern Lebanon overnight

Hezbollah operatives fired anti-tank missiles and rockets at Israeli forces in southern Lebanon overnight Friday, according to a military source. The source described the fire as enabled by the return of Shia civilians who have not yet been disarmed.

Overnight Friday, Hezbollah fighters fired anti-tank missiles and rockets at Israeli forces operating in southern Lebanon, according to a military source cited by The Zioneer. The source attributed the ability to carry out the fire to the return of Shia residents to the area who have not yet been disarmed, allowing cover for the attacks.

This incident follows weeks of intermittent Hezbollah attacks on IDF troops in the southern Lebanon zone, despite the announcement of an agreement. As The Zioneer reported on June 16, Hezbollah previously fired anti-tank missiles and mortars at Israeli forces in the same sector without causing casualties. That incident was only confirmed hours later by the IDF spokesperson. The current report comes from a single source and has not yet been confirmed by the IDF or by independent verification. No casualties or damage are reported among Israeli forces.
