On the eastern outskirts of the border town of Markaba, in South Lebanon, Hezbollah fighters ambushed an invading Israeli infantry force, dealing confirmed casualties.

The attack was conducted at exactly 10:00 pm on Tuesday night, when Resistance fighters fired an anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) at Israeli troops.

The Israeli military command dispatched a rescue force to pull out the killed and wounded from the ambush point half an hour after the incident. Then, Hezbollah fighters fired another ATGM targeting the rescue force, which was also dealt casualties.

At 11:10 pm, a second rescue force was dispatched to the area. Again, Resistance fighters fired a third ATGM, killing and injuring members of the rescue force.
