A military spokesperson confirmed that Israel has increased its military deployment in the border areas of southern Lebanon, describing this measure as a defensive action to prevent aggression from Hizbollah towards its northern border. «Our soldiers are active in southern Lebanon, in certain positions close to the border, as part of a defensive strategy,» said military spokesperson Nadav Shoshani during a videoconference with the international press. The Shiite group from Lebanon claimed to have carried out a drone attack on the Israeli airbase in Ramat David, while the Israeli Army has resumed bombings in the areas surrounding southern Beirut, according to Lebanese media. Hizbollah asserts that they conducted a drone attack against the radars and control centres of the Ramat David airbase in response to «Israel’s aggression against cities and towns in Lebanon, including the neighbourhoods of southern Beirut.» The assault took place on Tuesday at 5:00 am local time, using a group of drones, and has resulted in the «death of men, women and children, as well as injuries and devastation of buildings and civilian infrastructure.» The statement notes that the attack targeted military installations and emphasises Hizbollah’s commitment to protecting its territory and its people in the face of aggression from the Israeli enemy.
