Beirut: Hezbollah announced that it carried out five operations targeting Israeli vehicles and soldiers in various parts of southern Lebanon since early Monday. The Lebanese group detailed the attacks in a series of statements.

According to Anadolu Agency, Hezbollah claimed the attacks were conducted "in defense of Lebanon and its people." The group reported that it targeted gatherings of Israeli soldiers with rocket fire twice at the Ajloun Heights site north of the Kfar Yuval settlement and at the Hunin Gate opposite the border town of Markaba in southern Lebanon. Additionally, Hezbollah claimed to have targeted Israeli vehicles and soldiers with artillery fire in Jadida Mays Al Jabal and at a newly established site on Jabal al-Bat in the southern border town of Aitaroun.

Regional tensions have escalated since Israel and the US launched joint attacks on Iran on February 28, resulting in around 1,300 casualties, including the death of then-Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iran has subsequently retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, as well as Jordan, Iraq, and several Gulf countries, which it accuses of targeting US military assets.

The conflict has also affected Lebanon, with the Israeli army expanding its attacks, leading to the deaths of over 800 people and injuries to more than 2,000 others since March 2, amid ongoing cross-border hostilities with Hezbollah.
