Hezbollah said IDF forces attempted to advance toward the village of Majdal Zoun in southern Lebanon on Wednesday and Thursday, moving from the area of Shema toward the Tayr Harfa junction. The group's report comes amid increased Israeli airstrikes on Majdal Zoun over the past few days, according to the Lebanese outlet Abu Ali Express.
Hezbollah's military media reported a new ground push by Israeli forces toward the village of Majdal Zoun in the western sector of southern Lebanon on June 12–13. According to the group, maneuvering IDF troops arrived from the area of Shema toward the Tayr Harfa junction and then moved north toward Majdal Zoun. The village has seen intensified Israeli Air Force strikes over the past two to three days, the report notes.
The development follows a pattern of IDF advances in the western sector. Hezbollah previously claimed it struck two Israeli military vehicles near the edge of Majdal Zoun on June 10, as reported by The Zioneer. In recent weeks, Israeli ground forces have expanded their operational footprint in southern Lebanon, including advances toward the villages of Tabnit and Yahoun, as well as clashes near Ghendourieh south of the Litani River. The IDF has not commented on the latest reported push.
The source, Abu Ali Express, notes that Hezbollah has historically delayed acknowledging Israeli territorial gains. The status of IDF control in the area remains unverified by independent sources.
