Lebanon’s Hezbollah group has reported two clashes with Israeli troops following alleged infiltration attempts near the Lebanese border village of Ramia on Sunday. According to Hezbollah, fighters detonated explosive devices targeting Israeli soldiers and engaged in combat lasting about an hour.
“Our fighters clashed with Israeli soldiers as they attempted to infiltrate near Ramia twice,” Hezbollah stated, emphasizing the intensity of the encounters. The group also claimed responsibility for several other attacks on Israeli troops, both within Lebanon and across the border, overnight.
These incidents mark heightened tensions along the Lebanon-Israel border, raising concerns over potential escalation in the region. There has been no immediate response from the Israeli military regarding Hezbollah’s claims.
The border area has historically been a flashpoint between Hezbollah and Israeli forces, with sporadic conflicts sparking fears of broader confrontation. The international community is closely monitoring the situation, urging restraint from all parties involved to prevent further destabilization.
