Fars News Agency described “Latest Hezbollah blows to the backbone of the Israeli army in southern Lebanon,” saying Hebrew media indicated an escalation of Hezbollah’s drone attacks against Israeli army positions and forces in southern Lebanon and in the northern occupied Palestinian territories.

Fars News Agency reported that as of this morning Hezbollah fired 30 drones toward settlements in the northern occupied Palestinian territories, and it said Israeli Army Radio announced that one Israeli soldier was killed following a Hezbollah drone attack on the settlement of Debel in southern Lebanon.
Fars News Agency added that the incident occurred around yesterday afternoon, when a drone exploded near the location of Israeli army forces, and it said besides the death of one soldier, another soldier was seriously wounded.
Fars News Agency also reported that Israeli media said alarm sirens were heard in settlements including Al-Mutla, Masqafam, Marjliut, Kafr Jal’adi, Hanita, Adamit, Arab al-Aramshe and Shomira in the Western Galilee and in the “Finger of the Galilee” area due to possible drone intrusions.
Claims, counterclaims, and meetings
Fars News Agency said Hezbollah released five separate statements about new operations against the Israeli army, including a statement that Lebanese fighters targeted a gathering of Israeli soldiers at the newly established position “Jal al-Hammar” in the southern town of Al-Adayseh with a volley of suicide drones.
In that same Fars News Agency account, Hezbollah said it targeted two Israeli Merkava tanks in the settlement of Debel with the suicide drone “Ababil” and destroyed them directly, and it also said it targeted the Israeli army’s artillery position in Al-Adayseh with the suicide drone “Ababil.”

Fars News Agency reported that Israel’s security cabinet was forced to hold an extraordinary security meeting today to discuss ways to counter these attacks, after it said the Israeli army tried methods to counter Hezbollah’s FPV suicide drones but “none of these measures has prevented FPV drones from striking.”
The Fars News Agency account also quoted an Israeli army acknowledgment that the number of wounded soldiers since the start of operations in southern Lebanon has reached 1,015, with 52 in critical condition and 122 in moderate condition, while it said the number of soldiers killed is only 20.
Separately, Elnashra framed Hezbollah’s actions as “in defense of Lebanon and its people” and said they were carried out “in response to the Israeli enemy's violation of the ceasefire and the attacks that hit villages in southern Lebanon and resulted in martyrs and a number of civilians injured.”
Casualty figures and what’s next
Fars News Agency said the Israeli army acknowledged that wounded soldiers since the start of operations in southern Lebanon reached 1,015, with 52 in critical condition and 122 in moderate condition, while it said the number of soldiers killed is only 20.
In the same Fars News Agency report, Hebrew media were cited as saying Hezbollah has recently increased the use of anti-personnel bombs and roadside bombs to make the Israeli occupation costly and slow its advance, and it added that yesterday Hezbollah announced that in a roadside mine operation it destroyed four Israeli military bulldozers.
The Fars News Agency account also said the Lebanese government “insists on direct negotiations with the occupiers, even with US mediation,” and it stated that these negotiations on Friday extended a so-called 45-day ceasefire with the Zionist regime.
Fars News Agency further asserted that the occupiers are implementing the ceasefire “by aerial attacks and the destruction of homes of people in the southern villages,” and it said the Lebanese government, “instead of supporting Hezbollah and using resistance strikes as leverage,” entered the talks with no leverage.
In a separate Hezbollah-focused report, Mehr News Agency said Hezbollah carried out 22 separate operations in the past 24 hours targeting positions, devices, and equipment of the Israeli regime’s army in southern Lebanon with drone attacks, and it added that the Islamic Resistance reported attacks on bases including Masghaf Am, Avivim, and Ramim-Hunin.
