On April 26 afternoon, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced that it had carried out another wave of strikes against Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon.
Israeli fighter jets carried out strikes against buildings where Hezbollah fighters were gathered, in towns of Tayr Harfa and Ayta ash-Shab, the IDF said in a statement, adding that tanks also shelled areas near the towns of Yarine and Dhayra to “remove threats”.
There were no reports of civilian casualties in Lebanese media after the strikes. Hezbollah didn’t also announce the death of any of its fighters.
The strikes came after Hezbollah fighters ambushed an Israeli military convoy in the occupied Lebanon Kfarchouba hills late on April 25. Two vehicles were destroyed by guided missiles as well as rockets and artillery fire. An Israeli Arab man working as a truck driver was killed in the ambush.
Hezbollah said that the ambush was carried out to “to support the steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and in support of their brave and honorable resistance”.
The clashes on the Lebanese-Israeli border first broke out after the start of the Israeli war on Gaza last October, with Hezbollah and its allies carrying out attacks in support of the besieged Palestinian enclave.
So far, the clashes have resulted in nine civilian deaths on the Israeli side, as well as the deaths of at least 11 IDF soldiers and reservists. On the Lebanese side, more than 400 people have been killed, including 269 fighters of Hezbollah and at least 70 civilians.

dear friends,
i am a poor ukrainian refugee in denmark, i don’t know anyone here and i don’t have any friends either. i have a lot of time for that, a computer, a keyboard and a mouse!
so that i don’t get bored, i write comments all day and answer them myself!
in professional circles this is called shitzophrenia, but who cares 🤡 😆😆😆
i take it the israelis are too scared to fight hezbollah face to face?
yes they are.
they got ptsd from 2006 war with old hezbollah (battle of bint jbeil). remember one thing, “israel” will fight to the last american soldier not their own.
they pushed bush to invade (afghan-iraq) and they hope the us invade iran (which many in the military rank in the us openly said they would resign if the us invade/attack iran). obama, trump and now biden were pushed by “israel” under bibi to invade iran. none dare to do so.
the us gain fuk all in the middle east and they getting fuked and laugh at by everyone. people who are saying the us invaded middle east for oil are fuking rtds. okay, the biggest oil field in iraq is rumaila oil field. oh who got that contract? bp (uk) and china national petroleum corporation (china).
exxonmobil (usa) got one oil field contract with royal dutch shell (netherlands/uk). the us oil/gas companies want to make deal with iran government, they are against war with iran.
how many of you knew? “exxonmobil (usa) got one oil field contract with royal dutch shell (netherlands/uk).” i let you all to do some research about it (you will laugh who is winning here)… again it wasn’t for oil, it was for “israel”.
the us actions in the middle east is to “protect” and boot “israel” power in the region purely (which backfired badly). you don’t believe me listen or if you are old remember all the fuking zionist cunts (lobbies) that told yanquis to stfu when they are talking about wars in the middle east and not to link or mention “israel”.
listen to bibi speech in the us… september 12, 2002. funny isn’t it?
where are the air defenses
