️Al-Akhbar correspondent:
The enemy forces are facing fierce resistance around Al-Khiam municipality after advancing overnight, supported by Merkava tanks from the direction of the chalets and the southern outskirts near the detention center, under the cover of airstrikes and artillery and phosphorous shelling. The sounds of clashes can be heard in the southern half of the town, coinciding with phosphorous shelling in its center and artillery shelling on its outskirts towards Ibl al-Saqi and Jdeideh Marjayoun.
An enemy mechanized force began advancing westward from Shamaa towards Al-Bayyada at around 5:00 AM today. After departing from its position near the UNIFIL base and advancing several hundred meters, it was targeted by the resistance, which hit two of its Merkava tanks.
The enemy is attempting to cut supply lines to Al-Khiam by intensively targeting its outskirts with artillery and phosphorous shelling. Merkava tanks have been observed blocking the road to Burj al-Muluk, the Tall al-Nahhas triangle, and the olive groves in Qleiaa, opposite the plain west of Al-Khiam, and the spring road in Ibl al-Saqi on the town's northern outskirts. Despite this, the resistance managed to strike gatherings in the Ibl and Tall al-Nahhas areas with rocket barrages.
