The Lebanese National News Agency reported that 15 Syrians were injured in an airstrike targeting the town of Kawthariyet al-Riz in southern Lebanon on the night of Monday, March 9.
The incident came hours after a similar attack in which 11 Syrian workers sustained varying injuries after an Israeli drone strike targeted the outskirts of Yahmar al-Shaqif in southern Lebanon.
The developments come as the Israeli army prepares for a prolonged military campaign against Hezbollah aimed at weakening the group and enabling the return of residents of northern Israel displaced by the fighting, according to sources cited by the Financial Times.
Lebanese media, citing the newspaper, reported that Israel currently controls at least 12 forward positions along the Lebanese border.
The sources added that discussions are underway within Israel over the possibility of deploying forces in the Bekaa Valley, though no final decision has yet been made.
Israel also expects, according to the same sources, that its military campaign in Lebanon will last longer than the ongoing conflict with Iran.
In the same context, the border towns of Aita al-Shaab, Ramyeh, and Yaroun in southern Lebanon came under Israeli artillery shelling, according to the Lebanese National News Agency on Tuesday, March 10.
Hezbollah, in turn, announced that it had repelled an Israeli attempt to advance overnight on the southern outskirts of the city of Khiam, near the detention center, saying it had hit two Merkava tanks.
Syrians targeted
Eleven Syrian workers sustained varying injuries after an Israeli drone strike targeted the outskirts of the town of Yahmar al-Shaqif in southern Lebanon on Sunday, March 8.
The Lebanese National News Agency said Lebanese Red Cross ambulance teams, supported by a Lebanese army patrol, carried out a high-risk humanitarian operation that lasted for hours, during which they evacuated the wounded and transferred them to al-Najda al-Shaabiya Hospital in Nabatieh for treatment.
The workers were unloading a shipment of chickens from a pickup truck at a farm when they came under attack. Three managed to crawl away from the site, while 11 wounded workers remained there for more than five hours before they were evacuated.
The agency added that the evacuation required coordination with the “Mechanism Committee” and prior approval due to the dangerous conditions in the area.
The escalation in Lebanon followed Hezbollah’s announcement that it had entered the war alongside Iran in what it described as a “support war,” about 48 hours after the confrontation between Israel and the United States on one side and Iran on the other began.
That intervention was followed by broad Israeli escalation, including intense airstrikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs. The attacks triggered a wave of displacement among residents as the bombardment continued to target locations linked to the group.
In this context, an Israeli airstrike on Monday, March 9, targeted a branch of the al-Qard al-Hassan institution affiliated with Hezbollah in the Ain al-Sikkeh area of Burj al-Barajneh, in Beirut’s southern suburbs, coinciding with renewed Israeli army warnings for residents to evacuate their homes.
