Direct Field & Military Assessment
Focus on the Ali al-Taher Area
The fire activity around this strategic hill, adjacent to Beaufort Castle and Nabatieh al-Fawqa, has been intense and systematic.
The Israeli approach appears designed to neutralize any positions capable of supporting defensive capabilities by combining drones, explosive ordnance, and phosphorus munitions to sweep the wooded terrain under a broader preparatory fire campaign.
Pressure on the Rear Lines
Targeting Al-Qantara, Wadi al-Hujeir, Wadi Saluki, and Haddatha appears aimed at isolating frontline villages and disrupting supply and movement routes.
The use of sustained machine-gun fire and military vehicle movements also appears intended to disrupt both civilian and field activity across the villages.
