BEIRUT, March 4 (Xinhua) — Israeli military equipment advanced along the border strip in southern Lebanon on Wednesday, constructing earthen embankments and cutting roads up to 2 kilometers inside Lebanese territory, with a UN agency reporting that seven children were killed in a single day amid intensifying fighting.
Security officials monitoring the situation on the ground in the border area confirmed to Xinhua that Israeli troop movements, which began earlier this week, have extended nearly 80 kilometers, from Ras al-Naqura in the west to the heights of Kfar Shuba in the east, with Israeli forces penetrating 1-2 kilometers into Lebanese territory.
Residents of border villages fled their homes. Witnesses reported that Israeli troops were advancing under intense fire in the border town of Kfar Shuba, erecting barriers and establishing positions for armored vehicles.
According to data from the Lebanese Ministry of Health, cited on Wednesday by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), seven children have died and another 38 were injured in the past 24 hours.
Nearly 60,000 people, including approximately 18,000 children, have reportedly fled their homes in the past 24 hours, adding to the tens of thousands already displaced. Over 12,000 families have found shelter in more than 300 facilities opened across the country, with dozens of shelters already overcrowded.
