The Israeli Defense Forces issued a statement on the 6th local time saying that multiple drones were fired from Lebanon at Israel that day, injuring several civilians in the Israeli border city of Nahariya. Earlier that day, the Israeli army also said that it had carried out air strikes on Hezbollah military facilities in two places in southern Lebanon. While Lebanon and Israel continued to exchange fire, Lebanese Foreign Minister Habib visited Egypt on the 6th and said that they were working hard to ensure that the response to Israel would not trigger a full-scale war.
On the same day, air defense sirens were frequently sounded in several towns in northern Israel in a short period of time. The Israeli military statement said that preliminary investigations showed that a drone was not intercepted and hit the highway south of Nahariya.
According to a report by Hezbollah's media, Hezbollah used drones to attack a military camp in northern Acre on the 6th, causing casualties. Hezbollah said the airstrike was in support of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and in response to Israel's previous attack on the Lebanese village of Eba.
Another statement issued by the Israeli military earlier on the 6th said that the Israeli army had carried out air strikes on Hezbollah military facilities in two areas in southern Lebanon. The Lebanese military said that an Israeli drone had carried out air strikes on two villages in southern Lebanon on the 6th, causing multiple casualties.
On the 6th, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Ati discussed recent developments in the Middle East with visiting Lebanese Foreign Minister Habib, saying that Israel's escalating actions have hindered efforts to ensure regional security and stability.
Since the outbreak of a new round of Israeli-Palestinian conflict on October 7 last year, Hezbollah in Lebanon has been attacking northern Israel and the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights from time to time, and the Israeli army has retaliated with air strikes and artillery shelling of targets in southern Lebanon. The conflict between the two sides on the Lebanese-Israeli border has continued to this day, and a large number of residents in the southern Lebanese and northern Israeli border areas have been evacuated.
