Israeli forces intensified attacks across southern Lebanon on Saturday, carrying out strikes on areas along the border as well as deeper inland. The attacks involved continuous air raids, heavy artillery fire, and repeated shelling that hit residential zones and rural communities.

Israeli warplanes conducted a wave of intensive air raids over the Tyre district, hitting several towns and surrounding areas.

In the Nabatieh region, the town of Haboush was struck twice in separate air raids, according to local sources.

The village of Qalila was also targeted, alongside renewed artillery fire on nearby areas including al-Shaitiya and al-Ramadiyah.

The escalation comes after the extension ceasefire arrangement that remains contested and is not being effectively implemented on the ground.

According to the Lebanese Ministry of Health, the cumulative toll from Israeli strikes between March 2 and May 16 stands at 2,969 killed and 9,112 wounded.

I don’t think that’s right not saying that spy balloon wasn’t targeted recently I can’t find anything new on it but the sky dew ballon is massive almost as large as a football field and unless I’m mistaken they scrapped it after Hezbollah took it out of commission a few years back I’m thinking fake personally they wouldn’t send a blimp like that over Lebanon nor would hezbolah have men out in the open like that iaf would bomb something like that

To me, "tactically", taking out a tank that they cannot easily replace is more valuable militarily than some random piece of conscript meat that they can easily backfill.

Money isn't an issue for Israel. USA can gladly pay for all the equipment IdF lose in wars. It is the dead soldiers that can be considered loss on israel side, to atleat common Israeli citizens.

I disagree. Taking out expensive military equipment reduces the ability of occupation forces to manoeuvre and capture more territory and hold on to land. Conscripts are two a penny and Netanyahu doesn’t care about conscripts.

I believe morale matters the most. And dead bodies reduces morale.

But, agree to disagree.
