Hezbollah and Israeli troops engage in clashes in eastern Lebanons Bekaa region

Here is the rewritten news article in a neutral style:

At least 16 people have been killed and 35 wounded in Israeli air raids on the town of Nabi Chit, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry. The attacks occurred in the eastern Bekaa Valley, near the Lebanon-Syria border.

Hezbollah has stated that its fighters were involved in the clashes with Israeli forces attempting a landing operation along the border. The group claimed that four Israeli enemy army helicopters were infiltrated from the Syrian direction and that their fighters engaged them at the Nabi Chit cemetery.

The Lebanese government has banned military activities by Hezbollah, but the group continues to launch missiles on Israel. Footage shared on social media showed waves of gunfire in the air.

The situation remains volatile, with clashes erupting between Israeli forces and Hezbollah fighters along the border. The Lebanese army claimed operational control over southern Lebanon just a few weeks ago, but Hezbollah’s involvement has put it in a difficult position.

The southern suburbs of Beirut have been under relentless Israeli bombardment for days, forcing the mass exodus of tens of thousands from the densely populated neighbourhood of Dahiyeh. The death toll from Israeli attacks on Lebanon this week has risen to at least 217 people, with an additional 798 wounded and an estimated 95,000 displaced.

The Israeli military has not commented on the incident, but it has launched numerous deadly attacks and sent ground troops into southern Lebanon since Hezbollah fired missiles at Israel. The conflict has escalated into a wider regional war, with the United States and Israel involved.
