Israeli forces blow up two bulldozers in Mays al-Jabal incursion

Israeli forces made an incursion at dawn Friday into the center of the southern border town of Mays al-Jabal, the state-run National News Agency reported.

Israeli military vehicles and ATVs passed through inhabited homes as troops blew up two bulldozers that were removing the rubble of houses destroyed in the latest war, NNA said.

The Israeli forces later withdrew to their side of the border, the agency added.

The Israeli army had said on July 9 that Israeli troops had entered southern Lebanon days earlier to dismantle alleged infrastructure belonging to Hezbollah, describing the incursion as “special, targeted operations” to prevent Hezbollah from “reestablishing itself in the area.”

It claimed the ground incursion had been launched based on “intelligence information and the identification of Hezbollah weapons and terrorist infrastructure in several areas of southern Lebanon.”
