Hezbollah announced overnight that it has carried out 105 attacks against Israeli posts on Lebanon’s border since October 8.

The attacks killed and wounded 120 soldiers and destroyed nine tanks, two personnel carriers and two Humvees, Hezbollah said in an infographic.

Lebanese emergency crews rush to the scene of Israeli bombardments in aging vehicles and without protective gear as the crisis-hit country struggles to prepare for a possible war.

A grueling, four-year-long economic collapse, widely blamed on the governing elite, has left Lebanon ill-prepared for another disaster, and volunteers and local authorities are scrambling to fill the gap with limited means.

The human rights group Amnesty International has said that civilians in southern Lebanon were injured this month when Israeli forces hit a border village with shells containing white phosphorus, a controversial incendiary munition.

The organization said it verified three other instances of Israel's military dropping white phosphorus on Lebanese border areas in the past month, but Amnesty said it did not document any harm to civilians in those cases.

Hezbollah targeted and destroyed Tuesday a Merkava tank in the Israeli Branit post and targeted the al-Marj Israeli post facing the southern border town of Markaba with guided missiles.

It earlier fired guided missiles at an Israeli force that was setting up an ambush on a hill. Hezbollah said it inflicted casualties among the members of the Israeli force on the al-Khazzan hill near al-Assi post.

Sarit Zehavi, founder and director of Alma, a research center in the upper Galilee region near Lebanon’s border, says she is worried about the safety of her family.

Kataeb Party chief MP Sami Gemayel on Tuesday said that “Lebanon can still avoid being dragged into war through fully deploying the Lebanese Army on the Lebanese border.”

Former Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat has dubbed absurd Hezbollah and FPM chief Jebran Bassil's refusal to extend the term of Army chief Gen. Joseph Aoun, ahead of his planned retirement in January.

"For political reasons related to Hezbollah and Bassil, we are being blackmailed again into not extending Aoun's term," Jumblat told LBCI. "This is absurd."

The Strong Republic bloc of the Lebanese Forces on Tuesday submitted a draft law aimed at extending the term of Army Commander General Joseph Aoun.

Former Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat has warned against the interference of some factions in the south, where Hezbollah and Israel have been exchanging daily cross-border fire.

"I prefer for the war and peace decision to remain only in the hands of Hezbollah," Jubmlat said in an interview with LBCI, as he feared that some "unorganized" organizations might drag Lebanon into an all-out war against its will.

Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah’s speech on Friday will include “a clear stance on the U.S. military reinforcements in the Eastern Mediterranean and on the direct intervention in the ongoing war in Gaza,” a media report said.
