Anadolu Ajansı also said the Israeli army announced that two soldiers were killed and four injured, including two officers, during ongoing fighting in southern Lebanon on Thursday evening.

In parallel, Anadolu Ajansı reported that an Israeli was killed and 35 people were wounded by attacks from Iran and Lebanon, citing Israeli emergency services and Hebrew media.

The same Anadolu Ajansı report said Hezbollah targeted 16 settlements including Nahariya, Qiryat Shmona, Metula, and Katzrin in the Syrian Golan, and targeted 27 concentrations of Israeli vehicles and soldiers including 11 in southern Lebanon in the town of Khiyam and the towns of Qouzah, Debel, al-Qantara, Ras Naqoura, al-Naqoura, and Maroun al-Ras.

As clashes between Israel and Hezbollah escalated, UNIFIL announced that one of its headquarters buildings in Naqoura was hit by a projectile believed to have been fired by a non-state actor shortly before noon, with explosive-ordnance disposal teams handling it and no injuries among peacekeepers reported.

UNIFIL said it recorded heavy gunfire and explosions around its headquarters in the past 48 hours, and that bullets, shrapnel, and fragments from projectiles struck buildings and open areas inside UNIFIL’s headquarters, forcing personnel to shelter in bunkers.

The Anadolu Ajansı report also described Hezbollah targeting Israeli military sites including the headquarters of the Israeli War Ministry (the Kriya) in central Tel Aviv and Iron Dome platforms at the Buriya base, while noting there was no immediate response from the Israeli army about Hezbollah's claims.

In the same reporting stream, جريدة عمان said Lebanese President Joseph Aoun argued that striking the Litani River bridges is an attempt to sever geographic connectivity between the south Litani and the rest of Lebanon and hampers humanitarian aid.

جريدة عمان also reported that Lebanese politician Fuad Siniora condemned the escalation of Israeli aggression and its act of blowing up bridges and roads connecting the south Litani region with the north, warning of risks and consequences on multiple fronts.

In southern Lebanon, الجزيرة نت reported that a Lebanese man was killed and two others were wounded early Saturday when Israeli shelling targeted Bent Jbeil, followed by raids on the southern suburbs of Beirut.

Hezbollah said it targeted gatherings of Israeli soldiers and vehicles at the Marj site, the Taybeh project, Jabal Wardah, and the surroundings of the town of Markaba, and it also targeted the naval radar at Ras al-Naqoura with an attack drone noting “direct hits.”

Al-Manar TV Lebanon’s military media statements described Hezbollah targeting a newly established Blat Israeli site and a gathering of IOF soldiers near the Naqoura port, and targeting a newly established Israeli command headquarters in Al-Bayyada with attack drones and rocket barrages.
