Israeli media reported that four soldiers were injured after night confrontations with a cell that infiltrated near a site in the Israeli-occupied Lebanese Shebaa Farms.

Earlier, Lebanese residents and media reported hearing the sound of an explosion at the Roueissat al-Alam site in the Kfar Chouba Heights. The sound was followed by more than 60 heavy Israeli occupation shells targeting large areas in the Kfar Chouba Heights, Habariya, and Shebaa.

According to Ali Shoeib, Al-Manar's correspondent in southern Lebanon, "an event happened, the nature of which is unknown."

There has been no further information from the Lebanese media or Resistance groups since the event occurred.

IOF underreport injuries, number likely to reach 30,000 disabled

Israeli media reported Saturday on the number of Israeli occupation soldiers who became disabled since the start of the war on Gaza on October 7.

The Israeli news website Walla! reported that since the beginning of the war, "Israel" has acknowledged that about 4000 of its soldiers have become disabled.

"Currently, about 4,000 soldiers [with disabilities] have been recognized according to classification 3, meaning they are entitled to all treatments and rights enjoyed by a disabled person in the Israeli army without being officially recognized in this way," it mentioned.

According to Walla!, these soldiers get paid by Israeli authorities and receive treatment without the need to prove they were injured in the battles in Gaza.

The website revealed that Israeli authorities are bracing themselves to receive a large number of disabled soldiers who need extensive rehabilitation services.

"I have been in the organization for 30 years, and I have never encountered such a large number of severely wounded individuals. There are many wounded with amputated limbs, blindness, or paralysis," expressed Idan Kaliman, chairman of the Israeli military's Organization for the Disabled, as quoted by Walla!.

It is noteworthy that the Israeli occupation military had announced the recruitment of 360,000 reserve soldiers for the ongoing war in Gaza since October 7, while the Israeli ground incursion into the Strip began on the 27th of the same month.
