According to Israeli press, “the Israeli army is bogged down in the Lebanese quagmire.”, and that the so-called yellow zone is far from occupied, and “dozens or hundreds of Hezbollah fighters remain inside […], operating with guerrilla warfare tactics.”
According to the State of Israel 45 Israeli soldiers wounded over the last 48 hours, bringing the total of acknowledged wounded soldiers since the ceasefire to 131.
Hezbollah stated on Saturday that it carried out what it described as a response to Israeli strikes on civilians in the town of Yohmor al-Shaqif in southern Lebanon, where resistance combatants carried out a drone strike against an Israeli Namer vehicle, reportedly resulting in a direct hit.
An Israeli Hermes 450-Zik drone was also reportedly shot down by resistance combatants.
