War in the Middle East
Fighting around Chiam in Lebanon – more army casualties
The soldiers of the Lebanese army are actually not directly involved in the war between Israel and Hezbollah. They are still shot at – and report further victims.
In Lebanon, the Israeli army and the Hezbollah militia are fighting further battles around the town of Chiam in the south. The Lebanese army, which is not actually involved in the war, complains of further casualties: one soldier was killed and 18 others injured, it said after an attack on one of its bases near the coastal city of Tyre. The state agency NNA reported that the Israeli army fired artillery at it and a fire broke out at a weapons depot.
Israel’s army did not initially comment.
The Lebanese armed forces are increasingly caught between the fronts in their own country. The army has reported several deaths since Israel escalated attacks in the neighboring country in September.
According to NNA reports, the Israeli military attacked the important southern town of Chiam from the air and with artillery. Ground troops continued to try to penetrate the town. These were some of the most serious attacks in Chiam in two months.
