Israeli forces carried out a series of ground movements, air operations, and artillery strikes across southern Lebanon on Friday, with reports of continued military activity along the border and incidents in multiple areas.

On the ground, military vehicles and bulldozers advanced from the town of Hadatah toward the outskirts of Haris in the Bint Jbeil district. The forces reportedly entered and positioned themselves inside the home of Ibrahim Hijazi before conducting sweeping operations in the surrounding area. Drone and reconnaissance aircraft were active overhead throughout the operation. The volunteer centre in Hadatah urged residents to exercise caution and remain vigilant.

Separately, Israeli airstrikes reportedly targeted the town of Nabatiyeh al-Fawqa. In Mansouri, an explosion involving a suspicious object left over from previous fighting killed one person and critically wounded another.

Further incidents were reported in the Marjayoun district, where bulldozing operations and the burning of homes were carried out in Markaba.

Later at night, Israeli artillery shelled the outskirts of Braashit and Beit Yahoun with around 10 rounds, accompanied by machine-gun fire sweeping the area toward Beit Yahoun. Israeli warplanes also flew over southern Lebanon, releasing thermal balloons before withdrawing, according to Lebanon’s National News Agency.

The Emergency Operations Centre at Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health said an Israeli strike on a car in Mayfadoun in the Nabatiyeh district killed two people and wounded one, revising an earlier toll.

The developments came amid broader reports of intensified Israeli military activity across southern Lebanon, including continued aerial, artillery, and ground operations.

In a separate incident in Beit Yahoun, the Israeli military said four soldiers, including two officers, were wounded during an encounter with a Hezbollah operative. The army said one officer was moderately injured, while another officer and two soldiers were lightly wounded after the attacker threw a grenade. The military said the wounded troops were evacuated for treatment and their families were informed, adding that the attacker was killed.

Meanwhile, Israel’s public broadcaster reported that 3,200 Hezbollah fighters have been killed since March, adding that 10 members of the group were killed since yesterday, without providing further details.
