We continue covering all these developments with Alaraby TV correspondent

Mohammed Shbaro,

who joins us now from southern Lebanon, from Ibl al- Saqi specifically.

Welcome, Mohammed.

So, field developments with the continuation of this Israeli aggression

and the shelling operations, and also warnings from the Israeli army, Mohammed,

to evacuate a number of villages and towns in southern Lebanon.

Exactly, Jamal. To understand

these warnings and the military escalation,

we can say that three main fronts are clear on the map of battles and Israeli

shelling in the past few days. The first front is specifically toward the coast,

the coast of southern Lebanon, Shamaa and al- Bayyada, specifically the area

occupied by Israel. Hezbollah continues operations toward this area with

clearly intense fire in the past few days. Last night it was clear

that Israeli shelling targeted

the area opposite this occupied area, specifically in Majdal Zoun, Mansouri, as well

as in Buyut al- Siyyad, and the National News Agency

reported that Recording an attempted advance toward the Biout al- Siyad,

this village located on the other side of the yellow line in

the occupied coastal area in southern Lebanon. The warnings came as an

extension of this area where Hezbollah is launching or

targeting Israeli positions in al- Biyada and Shaama. Five villages

out of six villages were warned this morning,

they are located in the Tyre district, in the plain of the Tyre area,

this wide plain in southern Lebanon.

We are talking about Maarakeh, Tayr Filsay, and Halloussiyeh,

and Upper Halloussiyeh,

with the only exception of one village, al- Nmairiyeh,

which is located in the Nabatieh district, but in the geographic sense,

if we look at the map,

it is north of the Litani in the Nabatieh district,

but it is an extension of this area that is witnessing a clear military escalation.

The second area is the area extending from the Finger of Galilee,

specifically the one advancing from

Metula settlement and Misgav Am toward occupied Deir Siryan and occupied Taybeh,

located along the course of The Litani River.

This area that is controlled by the Israeli army, or occupied by it,

by the Israeli army,

is an advanced point for the attacks that are carried out toward the

Nabatieh district,

located on the northern bank of the Litani River facing this area. Dozens of raids

that were launched by the Israeli warplanes yesterday on the Nabatieh district,

which includes very high hills reveal the entire yellow zone that is occupied by

the Israeli army in southern Lebanon,

and Hezbollah continues operations that

it launches toward the occupied positions in Deir Siryan and Taybeh,

which reflects the intensity of the raids yesterday and the artillery shelling that

hit this area.

It is the number of martyrs during the night hours,

the Ministry of Health announced more than ten martyrs and about forty wounded in

three raids that targeted Dweyr, Harouf, and Habboush in the Nabatieh district,

in addition to a series of wide raids that were launched on all

the hills located on The northern bank of the Litani River in this area.

The third axis is the one we are in here in Marjeyoun District, which extends from

the occupied town of Khiam to the north toward Debbin. Debbin is located on a

high ground overlooking the occupied town of Khiam.

Until last night we are talking about dozens of airstrikes

carried out by the air force,

specifically more than ten airstrikes to be precise in terms of the number,

Jamal, more than ten airstrikes were carried out toward Debbin.

Behind Debbin is this elevation overlooking Khiam, the course of the Litani River

toward Blat, the Barghz Valley,

and if we go further up to the northern area, we reach as far as

the Western Bekaa region, which is usually targeted, and the latest strikes,

a few days ago,

were carried out with airstrikes toward the south of Western Bekaa,

and yesterday all this area witnessed a wide series of airstrikes.

These are the three main axes,

Jamal, for the Israeli escalation and the Israeli airstrikes, and naturally

today We expect, with the relative calm we have seen since the distant hours

after midnight, a state of anticipation,

with of course the continued low- altitude flights of Israeli drones.

All of this scene is of course accompanied by waiting and anticipation for the time

of the negotiations between

Lebanon and Israel on the fourteenth and fifteenth of this month.

Official Lebanon is clearly raising the level of representation toward

former ambassador Simon Karam,

and therefore one of the newspapers this morning mentioned

that Lebanon is pressuring the United States to secure a cease- fire

by Israel before this session is convened, especially since Lebanon,

up to this hour, rejects the notion of negotiating under fire.

Jamal, thank you Muhammad Shbaro from Ebel Al- Saqi in southern Lebanon, thank you.
