News reports from south Lebanon said on Tuesday that two soldiers from the pro-Israeli South Lebanon Army militias were killed when an explosive charge went off as they were driving on the Markaba road in the occupied part of south Lebanon.

Later in the evening, two Israeli jets raided al-Qeseyah valley and dropped two air-to-surface missiles. As a result a Lebanese woman, Fatemah Yassin (40), was admitted to a hospital in southern Lebanon.

On Tuesday afternoon, the Israeli forces continued attacking areas adjacent to the occupied part of south Lebanon. Lebanese security sources said the Israeli artillery shelled the towns of eastern and western Zouter, Hujeir valley, Toulin, Qibriha and the Litani river course. The Lebanese towns of Farroun and al-Ghandourieh also came under the Israeli bombardment.

Earlier in the day, the Israeli artillery strongly and intensively bombarded the outskirts of Habboush, al-Nabatiyeh, al-Fawqa and the deserted Lebanese army barracks in al-Nabatiyeh, al-Kfour valley and the surroundings of Habboush bridge.

Meanwhile, the Lebanese resistance on Monday night carried out a series of operations against positions of the Israeli occupation forces and the pro-Israeli militias inside the occupied part of south Lebanon. In a statement, Lebanese security sources said resistance groups attacked an Israeli engineering unit that was carrying out fortification work inside the Beit Yahoun position and prevented it from carrying out its plan.

The resistance groups also attacked Israeli moves inside the Beer Klab position. Direct hits were scored. The sources added that one resistance group attacked al-Qantara position for more than half an hour, during which the resistance fighters scored direct hits.
