Israeli forces have surrounded the strategic town of Bint Jbeil in southern Lebanon after days of intense fighting with Hezbollah, marking a major escalation in the ongoing conflict. According to Israeli military claims, more than 100 Hezbollah fighters have been killed in a combination of airstrikes and close-range combat. The operation, led by Israel’s 98th Division, aims to secure the border and push Hezbollah forces away while establishing a deeper security buffer zone. Hezbollah, however, says it continues to engage Israeli troops in “point-blank” clashes inside the town.
