Hezbollah claims more than two dozen attacks on 'Israeli' forces in southern Lebanon

• Hezbollah says it launched 26 attacks on 'Israeli' forces in southern Lebanon amid escalating cross-border fighting and intensified 'Israeli' air strikes.

Hezbollah said it carried out 26 attacks on 'Israeli' forces in southern Lebanon since Thursday afternoon, as cross-border fighting between the armed group and 'Israel' intensified amid escalating regional tensions.

In a series of statements released on Friday, the Lebanon-based group said its operations included a missile strike targeting an 'Israeli' tank near the town of Deir Siryan, artillery shelling aimed at 'Israeli' forces advancing toward Haddatha, and an attack on 'Israeli' soldiers gathered in the village of Labbouneh along the border area.

Hezbollah claimed the attacks caused casualties among 'Israeli' troops but did not provide figures or further details. 'Israel' has not immediately commented on the claims.

The announcement came as 'Israeli' air strikes across southern Lebanon intensified, with local media and health officials reporting that more than 30 people were killed on Friday alone. The day was described as one of the deadliest since fighting between Hezbollah and 'Israeli' forces erupted on March 2.

'Israel’s' military campaign and cross-border exchanges with Hezbollah have since caused widespread destruction in southern Lebanon. According to Lebanese authorities, more than 2,700 people have been killed and at least 8,500 others wounded since the escalation began.
