Israeli Forces Conduct Incursion Into Kfar Shuba in Southern Lebanon, Surround Farm With Shepherds

Israeli forces carried out an incursion into the area of Kfar Shuba in southern Lebanon, surrounding a farm where shepherds were present, according to Lebanon's National News Agency, cited by Anadolu Agency.

The incursion coincided with a drone strike, artillery shelling, and gunfire targeting several areas, according to the National News Agency's report. The precise areas struck, the number of people affected, and any casualties were not specified in the available reporting.

Southern Lebanon has experienced repeated Israeli military activity, including strikes and incursions, in the period since a November 2024 ceasefire agreement was reached between Israel and Hezbollah following more than a year of cross-border conflict that escalated alongside the war in Gaza. Israel has said continued operations in southern Lebanon are necessary to prevent Hezbollah from rebuilding military infrastructure near the border, a justification Lebanese officials have frequently disputed as a violation of the ceasefire terms and Lebanese sovereignty.

Kfar Shuba is a border town in southern Lebanon that has been affected by past rounds of conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, including during the 2006 Lebanon War.

There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military included in the available report regarding the specific incursion or the shelling and drone strike activity described by Lebanese state media.
