A counterattack is a universal term, which implies territory being recaptured or attempted to be recaptured. The claim that Israel does not have stable control over any territory in southern Lebanon is very misleading, as Israel has set up numerous command posts and armoured vehicle bases in Lebanese territory.
Northern Khiam and Qanatra didn't have any permanent IDF presence, therefore there was nothing to recapture. Because Hezbollah operates as a guerrilla army, maneuvering cells into towns that aren't held by Israel for hit and run attacks is its primary function. They have been doing this since day 1 and will continue to do so. None of these are counterattacks, some of them may be raids.
Claims of Hezbollah counterattacks in southern Lebanon are false.
Hezbollah largely operates as a guerrilla army, especially following recent IRGC-assisted restructuring into thousands of independent cells. They do not carry out counterattacks to take and hold territory. The closest thing to this would be Hamas-style hit-and-run raids against IDF positions and command posts.
Additionally, the areas that Hezbollah had allegedly recaptured (northern Khiam and Qanatra) are areas never controlled by the IDF in the first place, and only experienced raids and clashes.
An Iraqi militia drone struck an oil depot in Erbil, Iraqi Kurdistan, resulting in a large fire breaking out.

Lot's of Russian strategic aviation movements today.
Looks like Russia may combine their planned ballistic missile attack with their strategic aviation attack into one large combined missile and drone attack on Ukraine.
Currently, we're looking towards a possible attack on Saturday night.
It could involve any of the following:
- Kh-101 cruise missiles
- Kh-22/32 cruise missiles
- Iskander-M ballistic missiles
- Iskander-K cruise missiles
- Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles
- Kinzhal hypersonic aeroballistic missiles
- Kh-59/69 cruise missiles
- Kalibr cruise missiles
- The new "Izdeliye-30" cruise missile
Over the last few hours, Iran launched a total of 7 ballistic missiles towards Israel.
3 missiles (2 with cluster warheads) impacted, while 2 missiles (1 with a cluster warhead) were shot down. 2 other missiles either failed in flight or targeted Jordan.
Debris/cluster munitions fell in 5 spots across central Israel, including Tel Aviv, Yarkona, and Petah Tivka.

The massive Geran-2 drone attack on Ukraine is continuing into the morning.
A cluster of than 30 new drones are flying northwest past Mykolaiv Oblast to Vinnytsia Oblast.
Additionally, at least 20 new drones launched from Tsumbulova, Oryol Oblast, are flying to Chernihiv/Sumy Oblasts.
The ballistic missile was intercepted over central Israel, however as usual with cluster missiles, a few of the cluster munitions will fall.

🇱🇧🇮🇱 - Note, the definition of a 'Hezbollah counterattack' does not mean Hezbollah units have entrenched themselves on the 'recaptured' land - as certain channels (mainly fixated on counting the number of different types of Russian drones in Ukrainian airspaces) claim. This is obviously not Russia-Ukraine.
The counteroffensive refers to Hezbollah's ability to redeploy its units, in this case the Khiam Brigades, to inside of the town and carry out ambushes / raids. A similar case was observed last night, when the Naqoura Unit launched an ambush on an IDF patrol with the support of FPVs last night - which Rerum Novarum reported first, Hezbollah confirmed later. There were no Hezbollah operations in the Naqoura area for well over 24 hours prior to last night's ambush.
Also to note, IDF has no solidified control of any of the southern Lebanese territory - the markings indicate a presence of Israeli troops / areas of Israeli operations.

Today (March 31), Hezbollah published a total of 45 statements regarding recent operations targeting Israel and the IDF in Israel and southern Lebanon, up from yesterday's 43.
This brings their total stated operations since the beginning of the war to 1,142, with an average of 39.38 per day since March 2.
Note: Hezbollah only announces a small fraction of the total operations carried out against the IDF, and often combines multiple attacks into one statement. This graph only counts total Hezbollah statements.
The IRGC claims that it's air defences shot down a U.S. "LUCAS" strike drone over Qazvin, northwestern Iran.
The LUCAS drone is based on the same design of the Iranian Shahed-136 and was developed in 2025.
The Qatari Ministry of Defence stated that 3 Iranian cruise missiles targeted Qatar.
According to them, 2 missiles were intercepted, while the third struck an oil tanker leased to QatarEnergy. No casualties were reported.
2 cluster munitions/debris fell in Petah Tikva, central Israel.
