The head of Hezbollah’s Liaison and Coordination Unit, Wafiq Safa, met on Saturday with UN Special Coordinator for Lebanon, Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert, as part of ongoing coordination talks between the two parties.

According to a statement released by Hezbollah’s Media Relations Office, the meeting addressed United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701 and the current developments in southern Lebanon.

Discussions focused on the situation along the Blue Line, repeated Israeli violations of Lebanese sovereignty, and the growing risks of military escalation.

The statement stressed the importance of adhering to and upholding Resolution 1701 in order to preserve regional stability and avoid further deterioration.

The head of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), Major General Aroldo Lázaro, warned that the situation along the Blue Line remains tense and unpredictable. He noted ongoing violations and expressed concern over the potential for rapid escalation, saying, “Any miscalculation could lead to consequences that no one wants.”

'Israel' kills Lebanese citizens

Two individuals were martyred and a third injured on Thursday following a series of assaults carried out by the Israeli occupation on towns across southern Lebanon, according to Al Mayadeen’s correspondent.

One martyr was shot dead by Israeli occupation forces in the town of Kfar Kila, while a second, a municipal worker from Nabatieh al-Fawqa, was killed in a drone strike that targeted the outskirts of the town.

Additionally, a civilian was wounded in the town of Beit Lif in the Bint Jbeil district after an Israeli reconnaissance drone dropped a stun grenade in the area.

Elsewhere, Israeli artillery bombarded the outskirts of al-Wazzani and al-Salihani, located between Ramya and Beit Lif, following another stun grenade dropped by a drone over Ramya’s airspace.

Israeli soldiers breach Lebanese territory

On Wednesday, an Israeli occupation forces infantry unit crossed into Lebanese territory late Wednesday night, penetrating the Bir Shuaib area in the town of Blida in southern Lebanon.

The incursion force reportedly included two tanks, a bulldozer, and several infantry troops, and it advanced beyond the so-called "technical fence", a de facto separation line used by the Israeli occupation.

In response, a unit of the Lebanese Army swiftly deployed to the eastern perimeter of Blida, where the incursion occurred, in a move aimed at containing the violation and asserting Lebanese territorial sovereignty.

This latest breach follows a similar incident on Monday night, when an "Israeli" infantry force infiltrated residential areas in the southern town of Mays al-Jabal, stationing between civilian homes before withdrawing later under pressure.

Mounting violations

"Israel" continues its near-daily violations across southern Lebanon, the Bekaa region, and the southern suburbs of Beirut, defying the ceasefire agreement that has been in place since November 27, 2024.

Lebanese officials have repeatedly condemned these acts as grave violations of national sovereignty and international law, warning that continued provocations risk igniting broader confrontation along the volatile southern border.

According to Al Mayadeen’s correspondent, the force crossed approximately 100 meters past the border area and deployed between residential homes in the eastern sector of the town.

The soldiers carried out a spread formation in an open area, using flashlights as they moved. The incursion was accompanied by two Israeli bulldozers, which remained near the technical fence.
