In a report from وكالة سبأ, the Lebanese Resistance targeted Israeli vehicles and soldiers at Al-Bayyada, and it also said it neutralized two tanks and a gathering of Israeli soldiers in the occupied South Lebanon.

The same source said the Lebanese Resistance neutralizes three Israeli Merkava tanks at Qantara and Beit Leef.

Al Jazeera نت described Hezbollah broadcasting video footage of an operation targeting a house where Israeli soldiers were taking shelter in the town of Al-Beiada, south Lebanon, using kamikaze drones, and the group said the attack achieved a direct hit.

Al-Manar TV Lebanon framed additional drone strikes with specific timing, stating that Islamic Resistance fighters targeted at 16:30 on Thursday 30-04-2026 a gathering of “Israeli” enemy army soldiers in Al-Taybeh town with a swarm of loitering drones, achieving a confirmed hit: statement 9.

The same Al-Manar TV Lebanon report added that fighters targeted at 18:30 on Thursday 30-04-2026 a gathering of “Israeli” enemy army soldiers in Al-Qantara town with a swarm of loitering drones, achieving a confirmed hit: statement 10.

Across the reports, the operational focus repeatedly returned to Israeli military positions and vehicles in towns and areas in southern Lebanon, including Al-Bayyada, Qantara, Beit Leef, Al-Beiada, Al-Taybeh, and Al-Qantara.

Escalation and Displacement

The same cluster of reporting also tied the cross-border fighting to a deteriorating civilian situation under Israeli bombardments and displacement in Lebanon.

وكالة سبأ stated that the UN Coordinator said, "The civilian situation in Lebanon remains precarious, under Israeli bombardments and ongoing population displacement."

It also reported injuries from Israeli airstrikes and demolitions of houses in southern Lebanon, linking the military actions to harm on the ground.

In parallel, Al Jazeera نت described Hezbollah’s operation as being in response to Israeli military movements in the border region, with the group confirming that the operation was "in response to Israeli military movements in the border region."

Al Jazeera نت further said the party announced it was expanding the scope of its operations, pointing to targeting the Nahariya settlement and military infrastructure in the city of Safed with rocket salvos.

The report also said Hezbollah carried out other attacks hitting the Avivim and Yiron settlements, and it described strikes on gatherings of Israeli army vehicles and soldiers around the Ishraq School and the Saff al-Hawa area in the city of Bint Jbeil, and in the border town of Maroun al-Ras.

Together, the sources portray an escalation in both claimed operational tempo and the stated civilian pressures in Lebanon, with the UN Coordinator’s assessment serving as the clearest civilian anchor in the reporting.

Iranian Maritime Threats

Beyond Lebanon’s border region, the reporting also included Iranian statements framed around maritime control and retaliation.

وكالة سبأوكالة سبأ

وكالة سبأ quoted an Iranian Navy Commander saying, "We have closed the Strait of Hormuz; if the enemy advances, we will respond quickly and decisively."

The same source added an Iranian source statement that "The patience of our armed forces has its limits."

The remarks were presented alongside the Lebanon-focused claims and the UN Coordinator’s description of civilian vulnerability under bombardments.

In addition, the report referenced "Higseth admits responsibility by the U.S. military for the attack on the Minab school in Iran," bringing the Iran-related dimension into the broader conflict narrative.

Al Jazeera نت’s account, meanwhile, emphasized Hezbollah’s operational messaging and its stated response to Israeli military movements, including the use of kamikaze drones and the confirmation of a direct hit.

While the sources do not connect these threads with a single causal chain, they place Iranian maritime closure threats and U.S.-linked responsibility for an attack on a school in Iran in the same reporting context as Hezbollah’s expanding operations and drone strikes in southern Lebanon.

Detentions and Arrests

The reporting also included an account of Israeli forces arresting a Palestinian woman in the occupied West Bank, adding a separate thread to the broader war coverage.

وكالة سبأ said, "Israeli forces arrest a Palestinian woman who was attempting to return to her home in the Nur Shams camp, in Tulkarm."

It placed this arrest alongside other actions it described, including settlers cutting down 200 olive and almond trees in Al-Dhahiriya, south of Hebron.

The same source’s body also included multiple Lebanese Resistance claims, such as neutralizing tanks and gatherings of Israeli soldiers in occupied South Lebanon and targeting Israeli vehicles and soldiers at Al-Bayyada.

Al Jazeera نت’s report focused on Hezbollah’s drone operation and its stated expansion to additional targets, including rocket salvos toward the Nahariya settlement and military infrastructure in Safed.

Al-Manar TV Lebanon’s report, in turn, concentrated on timed drone attacks against “Israeli” enemy army soldiers in Al-Taybeh and Al-Qantara, with “confirmed hit” language.

Together, the sources show that the conflict narrative in this set of articles spans from southern Lebanon to Tulkarm and Hebron, while also including maritime threats tied to the Strait of Hormuz.

Rocket Salvos and Drone Claims

The report said the party announced it was expanding the scope of its operations, pointing to the targeting of the Nahariya settlement and military infrastructure in the city of Safed with rocket salvos.

It also said the group carried out other attacks hitting the Avivim and Yiron settlements, and it described strikes on gatherings of Israeli soldiers around the Liberation Triangle and the town of Al-Beiada.

The same Al Jazeera نت account stated that the group announced targeting an Israeli Merkava tank in the Saff al-Hawa area inside Bint Jbeil with a kamikaze drone, confirming a 'confirmed hit,' as part of continuing to target Israeli military vehicles and fortifications along the front.

Al-Manar TV Lebanon’s report provided additional time-stamped claims of drone targeting, including an attack at 16:20 on Thursday 30-04-2026 in Mais Al-Jabal town, and it repeated the “confirmed hit” framing for multiple operations.

It also stated that Islamic Resistance fighters targeted at 18:30 on Thursday 30-04-2026 a gathering of “Israeli” enemy army soldiers in Al-Qantara town with a swarm of loitering drones, achieving a confirmed hit: statement 10.

In وكالة سبأ, the Lebanese Resistance claims included neutralizing three Israeli Merkava tanks at Qantara and Beit Leef, aligning with the broader emphasis on armored vehicles.
