Israeli war planes on Wednesday raided three times the eastern sector of south Lebanon. Lebanese security sources said the Israeli raids concentrated on the heights of Ein al-Teineh in the eastern sector which the jets targeted with missiles.

Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation forces continued attacks against areas adjacent to the occupied part of south Lebanon and the western Bekaa on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. Lebanese security sources said the Israeli bombardment targeted Skakra town, the deserted Lebanese army barracks and Ghandour palace surroundings in al-Nabatieh al-Fouka, areas of Yahmur town, Sujoud, al-Rayhan, al-Zahrani river course and the Sawanneh region. The bombardment also covered the road linking Habboush -Arab Salem town, al-Rafei mountain and al-Kfour Jouz Valley.
In the western Bekaa, Israeli artillery targeted on Tuesday night and dawn Wednesday the outskirts of Burket Jabbour and Abi Rashed woods with 13 shells, including phosphorous shells which caused fires to break out in the woods. The attack also targeted al-Rehayat tell and al-Maramel heights.
Light bombs were thrown over the liberated areas of the western Bekaa, coinciding with mop-up operations around al-Litani river course and the woods adjacent to Maidoun town.
Meanwhile, the Israeli-allied South Lebanon Army positioned in al-Koumat area, which overlooks the liberated parts of the western Bekaa, conducted mop-up operations in the surroundings of Ein al-Amin, Mashghara and Ein al-Tineh woods. It shelled with heavy artillery the heights of Toumat Neiha.
During Tuesday night Israeli planes flew intensively over areas adjacent to the occupied part of south Lebanon dropping thermal balloons over the area to divert anti-aircraft artillery fire from the Lebanese army and resistance. News reported from south Lebanon said the Israeli occupation used heavy artillery in its bombardment. The reports did not indicate the scope of losses.
Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation forces expelled on Wednesday Lebanese citizen Abdul Karim Ahmad Noura from Zibdin town inside the occupied part of south Lebanon to al-Nabatieh city through Kfar Tabnit crossing.
