Surveillance cameras were targeted at al-Jardah site in the town of al-Dhayrah and the Dhahr al-Jamal site opposite the town of Ramiya in South Lebanon, the Resistance's military media reported on Monday.

The attack comes in light of mounting tensions in the Palestinian-Lebanese border area.

Soon thereafter, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that sounds of explosions were heard in the vicinity of the town of al-Dhayrah in South Lebanon and the settlements facing it.

"Israel" bombed the Lebanese town of al-Dhayrah, near the border with occupied Palestine, our correspondent said.

In retaliation, the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah, announced that freedom fighters targeted the sites of "Misgav Am", Khirbat al-Manara, "Hormon", Birket Risha, and Ramiya.

"Our freedom fighters used appropriate weapons," the Resistance said, underlining that they could confirm the Israeli occupation's sites received direct hits and were damaged in the retaliatory strike.

Minutes later, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that a Lebanese army site in al-Dhayrah was targeted by the Israeli occupation, with more strikes targeting the outskirts of Rmeich, southern Lebanon.

Hezbollah later issued another statement, saying al-Dhayrah military site came under attack once again.

"Shortly before 6:00 pm today, Monday, a group from the Islamic Resistance, named after martyr Ali Kamel Mohsen, attacked the Israeli site of al-Dhahyrah and targeted a Merkava tank with guided missiles, achieving a direct hit," the statement read.

The border tensions have inflicted several casualties on the Israeli occupation.

On Sunday, the team commander of the 75th Battalion in the 7th Brigade, Lieutenant Amitai Granot, and soldier Daniel Rashed from the 13th Battalion of the Golani Brigade were killed in an attack by the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon on their posts.

After the publication was approved by the Israeli occupation forces, it was revealed that Granot was the son of Tamir Granot, a prominent Rabbi in "Tel Aviv".

Granot was killed during an operation conducted by the Lebanese Resistance on the occupied territories where it targeted a tank using an anti-tank missile resulting in a direct hit.

Consequently, the announced number of deaths by the Israeli occupation forces since the beginning of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood rose to 291 Israeli officers and soldiers, in addition to hundreds of prisoners and wounded Israeli soldiers, most of them from the Gaza Division, which the Resistance fighters attacked in the first hours of the Operation.

Hezbollah intensifies operations, targets Israeli Merkava tank

Hezbollah announced on Sunday that it successfully targeted a Merkava tank in the al-Raheb Israeli occupation military site using anti-tank guided missiles.  

In a statement, the Lebanese Resistance group confirmed that the tank was hit directly, resulting in casualties among the crew.

The Israeli occupation army confirmed the operation.

This is the second consecutive targeting that Hezbollah claimed responsibility for on the same day.

In light of the escalation, the Israeli occupation said it is planning to evacuate settlers in settlements up to two kilometers from the Lebanese border, as per Israeli media. 

The "National Emergency Management Authority (NEMA)" said the settlers would be taken to government-funded guesthouses after the plan was approved by Security Minister Yoav Gallant. 

The IOF have repeatedly informed the authorities in the region about the impending execution of the scheme, as per Israeli media reports.

According to the IOF, the 28 settlements included in the plan are "Ghajar, Dishon, Kfar Yuval, Margaliot, Metula, Avivim, Dovev, Ma’ayan Baruch, Bar’am, Manara, Yiftah, Malkia, Misgav Am, Yir’on, Dafna, Arab al-Aramshe, Shlomi, Netu’a, Ya’ara, Shtula, Matat, Zar’it, Shomera, Betzet, Adamit, Rosh Hanikrah, Hanita, and Kfar Giladi."

Media and strategic experts have commented on the plan, suggesting it may be related to the Israeli ground invasion. Meanwhile, the Israeli army speculated that Hezbollah might carry out infiltration operations or missile launches. Meanwhile, the chief of the upper al-Jalil city council expressed concerns, stating that there are many questions about the plan, stressing that there is a lack of clarity in the evacuation plan, and uncertainty surrounds the allocated budget for it.
