The group also said it shelled Israeli vehicles moving from Rashaf toward the outskirts of Hadatha, claiming the forces were forced to retreat.

Hezbollah said the attacks were carried out "in defense of Lebanon and its people."

Sirens, tallies, and clashes

Yeni Şafak said Hezbollah announced it carried out 73 attacks on Tuesday against Israeli settlements, forces, vehicles, and military sites, while air-raid sirens sounded across wide areas in northern Israel 41 times.

It also reported that the number of Hezbollah attacks in response to the Israeli aggression rose to 1,560 attacks from March 2 up to 20:55 UTC, according to an Anadolu Agency tally.

In southern Lebanon, Al-Quds al-Arabi and agencies described fierce clashes and exchanges of fire at the Ainata–Maroun al-Ras–Bint Jbeil triangle as Israeli forces attempted to advance to encircle Bint Jbeil.

The Health Ministry in Lebanon, as cited by Al-Quds al-Arabi, said 33 people were killed and 173 were wounded, raising the death toll from Israeli aggression to 1,530 dead and 4,812 wounded since the start of the war on March 2.

Escalation and disputed losses

Al-Quds al-Arabi said Hezbollah targeted infiltrating forces with drone assault aircraft and rocket fire and fired guided missiles at an Israeli force and a Merkava tank advancing in the areas of Reshav and Bet Levi.

It added that the Israeli army bombarded those areas with heavy artillery and carried out a series of airstrikes on the outskirts of Bint Jbeil and the Saf al-Hawa area.

Al-Quds al-Arabi also reported that Israel maintains heavy censorship and tight scrutiny of its actual losses from rockets and drones fired by Hezbollah or Iran, as well as the ground battles with Hezbollah fighters in southern Lebanon.

In parallel, Yeni Şafak said the Israeli army is enforcing a blackout on the results of Hezbollah attacks, alongside strict media censorship and warnings against publishing photos or information related to losses or targeted sites.
