Southern Lebanon: IDF and Hezbollah Trade Strikes on Day 35

IDF kills 15 Hezbollah fighters; Hezbollah claims 60 operations including 4 tanks disabled

The Israel-Lebanon front remained intensely active on day 35 as the Israel Defense Forces killed 15 Hezbollah members in a targeted operation in southern Lebanon, while Hezbollah simultaneously claimed 60 military operations against Israeli forces in a single 24-hour window. The group reported rocket fire targeting Israeli soldiers in Malkia and Dishon, an explosive device attack in Biyyada, and attacks that it said disabled four Israeli tanks. IDF Arabic-language spokesperson Avichay Adraee confirmed the 15 kills; Hezbollah did not immediately respond. The northern front continues to exert persistent pressure on Israeli forces even as the main Iran-Israel-US exchange dominates the conflict's strategic picture.
