Israel is trying to take two strategic towns on the border. One is Naqoura, a town on the sea. The Israelis have been advancing through several other villages, and they were positioned on al-Bayada, a strategic hill overseeing the Mediterranean, and also in other areas in the district.

But today, Hezbollah forced the Israeli military to retreat after launching four attacks with antitank guided missiles on the Merkava tanks and destroying them, according to Hezbollah statements.
