- Hezbollah says its fighters clashed with 'Israeli' infantry in Nabi Sheet, Lebanon, after a reported helicopter insertion.
Hezbollah said its fighters clashed with an 'Israeli' infantry force in the town of Nabi Sheet in Lebanon’s Bekaa region after what it described as an attempted helicopter insertion by 'Israeli' forces.
In a series of statements, Hezbollah said it detected four 'Israeli' helicopters infiltrating the area and dropping off an infantry unit near the tri-border area of the outskirts of Yahfoufa, Khraibeh and Ma’raboun.
According to the group, the 'Israeli' force advanced toward the eastern neighborhood of Nabi Sheet, where Hezbollah fighters said they engaged the troops near the town’s cemetery.
Hezbollah said the confrontation escalated after the 'Israeli' unit was exposed, claiming 'Israeli' forces then launched intense “fire belts,” or concentrated bombardment, in the area of the clash.
The group added that its artillery units fired concentrated strikes using appropriate weapons around the zone of fighting to support the engagement.
Hezbollah said the clash involved direct fighting with an 'Israeli' infantry unit inside Nabi Sheet, located in the Bekaa Valley in eastern Lebanon.
