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, an Al Mayadeen correspondent reported on Wednesday.

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.

Israeli violations continue to mount

"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.

Strikes increase across Southern Lebanon

Meanwhile, Al Mayadeen’s correspondent reported that the Lebanese army discovered an Israeli espionage device east of the town of Blida, in southern Lebanon.

Earlier, an Israeli drone struck a motorcycle in the southern town of Majdal Zoun, injuring one person. Another drone attack targeted the town of Beit Lif, also in southern Lebanon.

On Thursday, for example, the Israeli occupation launched new aerial attacks on southern Lebanon on Thursday, striking a building in the town of Toul in the Nabatieh region. The strike came shortly after a “warning airstrike” was carried out in the same area following threats issued by an Israeli military spokesperson to bomb the targeted structure.

Another airstrike followed soon after, this time hitting Touline, over a dozen kilometers south of the area that was marked for the attack.

Israeli warplanes launched a series of airstrikes targeting multiple areas in southern Lebanon, including al-Mahmoudiyah, Barghouz, and the highlands of the Iqlim al-Tuffah region. The strikes also hit the Rehan highlands, marking a notable escalation in the ongoing aerial attacks by the Israeli occupation. The raids caused panic among civilians amid intense overflights in the area.
