| [AnNahar] Hezbollah said it targeted overnight Israeli troops in Khiam, Odaisseh and al-Taybeh. It also targeted troops and bases in the occupied Golan and north of Kfar Yuval in the Galilee Panhandle of northern Israel. Troops were also trying to enter Lebanese territories from the southern border towns of Yaroun and Maroun al-Ras, state-run National News Agency said. Hezbollah published Monday a video of its fighters attacking troops in a Merkava tank on the outskirts of the southern border town of Markaba with guided missiles. The Israeli army had said it sent additional ground troops into Lebanon for what it called a "limited and targeted operation." Military spokesman Lt. Col. Nadav Shoshani said the latest deployment is meant to defend Israeli border communities against attacks from Hezbollah. Shoshani said Israel carried out artillery and airstrikes on multiple sites before sending in the troops. Earlier in the war, Israel beefed up the presence of ground troops inside Lebanon in what it says is an attempt to prevent attacks on its northern border towns. On Sunday night, Hezbollah targeted the Meron air base with a swarm of drones and attacked Kiryat Shmona, and Avivim with two salvos of missiles. Israel strikes south Lebanon, targets again paramedics [AnNahar] Seven people, including children, were killed by Israeli airstrikes on south Lebanon Monday. A strike on a home in the southern village of Kfar Sir had killed one person early Monday. Another strike occurred after paramedics from the Islamic Health Society, Hezbollah’s health arm, arrived at the scene, killing two paramedics and wounding another person. The health ministry later said that a strike on the southern town of al-Qantara killed a family of four, including two children. Israeli strikes have deepened Lebanon's humanitarian crisis, with more than 850 people killed and over 850,000 displaced. Israel has been using the double-tap strike tactic in Lebanon, killing first responders who gather at the hit location. An Israeli strike killed Saturday 12 doctors, paramedics and nurses working at a healthcare center in the town of Burj Qalaway. On Monday, the Israeli army struck several towns and villages in south Lebanon including Yater, Habboush, Nabatieh, al-Sultaniyyeh, Burj Qalaway, al-Taybeh, Jabal al-Botm, Shaqra and Aitit. Reports said the strike on Aitit targeted paramedics.
