Hezbollah, Israeli troops clash on the ground in eastern Lebanon’s Bekaa
Al Jazeera
Lebanese Health Ministry says at least 16 people killed, 35 wounded in Israeli air raids on the town of Nabi Chit.
Clashes have erupted as Israeli forces attempted a landing operation along the Lebanon-Syria border, with the armed group Hezbollah saying its fighters were involved, according to Lebanese state-run National News Agency (NNA), as this fierce front in the wider regional war launched by the United States and Israel boils over.
The Lebanese Health Ministry says at least 16 people were killed and 35 were wounded in Israeli air raids on the town of Nabi Chit, in the eastern Bekaa Valley.
There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military, which has launched numerous deadly attacks and sent ground troops into southern Lebanon, but not further north in the east, since the Iran-aligned Lebanese group Hezbollah fired missiles at Israel on Monday to avenge the killing of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, joining the war.
This latest reported raid would be the deepest Israeli forces’ incursion inside Lebanon since special unit troops apprehended Hezbollah operative Imad Amhaz from the northern city of Batroun in November 2024.
The NNA said, “Clashes are taking place on the eastern mountain range along the Lebanese-Syrian border … to repel Israeli landing attempts.”
