Israeli forces fire shells near residents approaching Lebanon's Kfar Tebnit

On Sunday, Israeli forces launched artillery shells near a group of young men on motorcycles as they attempted to enter the southern Lebanese town of Kfar Tebnit, according to Lebanon's National News Agency. The men were en route to Nabatieh al-Fawqa and had reached the Kfar Tebnit roundabout when an Israeli drone passed overhead.

Shortly thereafter, Israeli forces fired shells in the direction of the men, presumably to deter them and compel them to retreat. There were no casualties, and the group subsequently returned to their journey. In response, the Lebanese army subsequently prohibited vehicles and motorcycles from proceeding towards Nabatieh al-Fawqa.

Mayor Zein Ghandour stated that he was working in coordination with the army and authorities to facilitate residents' access to both towns. He emphasized that there were no Israeli forces present and called for the army to take the lead in ensuring residents' safety. Additionally, Israel targeted the Lebanese town of Haddatha in the Bint Jbeil district with artillery shelling the previous night, as reported by the Lebanon's National News Agency.
