At least eight people, including fighters from Hezbollah, were killed in Israeli airstrikes on southern Lebanon late on March 27.
Five were killed in a strike on the border town of Tair Harfa and a strike shortly afterward that hit a restaurant in the border town of Naqura killed at least another three people.
Hezbollah later announced that four of its fighters and two first responders from its civil defense body, the Islamic Health Organization, were killed. The group said in separate statements mourning the six men that they were killed “on the road to Jerusalem,” a phrase used to refer to those killed by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) during the current confrontation.
The allied Amal Movement also said that one of its fighters and a first responder from its Islamic Message Scouts Association were killed in the Israeli airstrikes.
From its side, the IDF said that it had targeted two cells of Hezbollah in Tair Harfa and Naqura and released video footage of the airstrikes.
The airstrikes came just hours after Hezbollah fired a barrage of more than 30 rockets at the northern Israeli settlement of Kiryat Shmona, killing a man and causing extensive material damage. The attack was a response to an Israeli airstrike that hit a medical center in the southern Lebanese town of Habbariyeh in the early morning, killing seven first responders from the Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated Islamic Group.
Hezbollah and its allies have been launching attacks against the IDF from southern Lebanon since the outbreak of the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip. The main goal of the group is to support the Hamas Movement and other Palestinian armed factions.
The clashes on the Lebanese-Israeli border saw an escalation on March 26 when Hezbollah carried out another attack against the sensitive Mount Meron air traffic control base in northern Israel. The group’s Military Media released footage of the attack, which was carried out using Iranian-made Almas guided missiles, on March 27.
The clashes on the border will not likely end before the war on Gaza is over. Recent Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon will likely lead to more escalation.
So far, the border clashes have resulted in eight civilian deaths on the Israeli side, as well as the deaths of at least ten IDF soldiers and reservists. On the Lebanese side, more than 300 people have been killed, including 239 fighters of Hezbollah and at least 60 civilians.

the gallant resistance in palestine and the heroic hezbollah squashing khazar baby kileing diaper headed demons day in day out. how long more before the beast nutnyahoo is knifed in the back by his zionazi rabble and the cadaver in chief in $lumville croaks? onward to the end of the apartheid abomination in semitic palestine and the end of the disease raging in the m.e.
…one thing is becoming visible, the explosive force has yet to intensify significantly!
i’m surprised hezbollah doesn’t have better airdefense, like better missiles, so they can down the jews’ jets when they stage attacks on lebanon. the jews deserve no respect or fair treatment!!!!
they supposedly do have them. possibly they are not using them until absolutely necessary. they are likely difficult to move and hide once used, making them vulnerable. should there be a full confrontation, then we should see them used. but they should be leveling their airfields right now.
no jews were harmed in the making of this video
it beggars belief that the kill ratio against hezbollah is 30 to 1. goes against all convention. sorry, it parody’s ukrainian convention.
they should be stepping up those attacks.
there should be a unit created to allow everyday people like us to join the war against radical judaism.
millions of people would join for free if such a unit was made
hezbollah and hamas are giga elite fighters. they are outnumbered by the jewish terrorists who came from russia ukraine and poland in packs of millions.
the jewish shiksas keep laying their eggs and reproducing like insects.
there should be a large force made of non elite volunteers (the everyday people) in order to provide a cover for the hamas elite forces. 4 million volunteers is more than enough.
