Fighting escalates in southern Lebanon as Israel increases strikes and Hezbollah continues attacks, according to multiple reports. On Tuesday, Israel carries out heavy strikes across parts of south and east Lebanon and issues evacuation warnings for at least 50 towns and villages. The reports say at least 31 people are killed in the strikes. Hezbollah, in a statement reported by outlets, says it clashed with Israeli troops in south Lebanon beyond a designated “yellow line,” indicating combat activity after the bombardment. The reports describe a widening confrontation rather than isolated incidents, with continued Hezbollah engagement during the period of heightened Israeli air activity. Both accounts focus on the same sequence: Israeli strikes and evacuation notices, followed by Hezbollah claims of ground clashes beyond the line. The information reflects claims and reported casualty figures; the sources do not provide further independent verification in the excerpts.
