Israeli Occupation Forces Penetrate Border Town in Southern Lebanon and Conduct Searches

Beirut, October 22 (KUNA) -- A force from the Israeli occupation army advanced today, Thursday, toward the outskirts of a border town in southern Lebanon and conducted search operations. The Lebanese National News Agency reported that the occupation army’s artillery targeted the outskirts of the town of Al-Habbariya in the Hasbaya district with six successive shells, coinciding with the military advance toward the town’s outskirts. The agency stated that a force comprising approximately 20 personnel and four tanks moved toward the Nabaa Al-Khukh area at the town’s outskirts, firing bursts from machine guns while carrying out search operations. It added that the occupation army’s artillery shelled Wadi Zibqin, located a few kilometers from the southern border, which is repeatedly subjected to artillery shelling and raids by the occupation army. It is worth noting that the Israeli occupation army has continued its daily attacks in the south and has deployed in dozens of southern villages and towns since the resumption of the war last March.
