The battle of Ramyah is an ongoing battle in the village of Ramyah between Israel and Hezbollah, amid the 2024 Israeli invasion of Lebanon. The battle also affected UNIFIL, who have sustained numerous attacks on their facilities by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
Battle
On the night of 11 October 2024, UNIFIL reported receiving "significant damage" to its buildings in Ramyah due to explosions from nearby shelling.
On 13 October, two Israeli Merkava tanks destroyed the main gate of a UNIFIL post in Ramyah and forcibly entered the post. Two hours later, Israeli forces fired rounds 100 meters from the base that caused smoke to rise and enter the camp, injuring 15 UNIFIL peacekeepers due to skin irritations and gastrointestinal reactions. The IDF claimed that during the incident, 25 of its soldiers were injured, including two "seriously injured", due to anti-tank missiles fired by Hezbollah. The IDF said that it fired a smoke screen to aid the evacuation of its wounded troops, and that it had "maintained continuous contact" with UNIFIL.
On 15 October 2024, Hezbollah said that it destroyed three bulldozers and two tanks belonging to the IDF that were attempting to advance into the outskirts of Ramyah by using a guided missile, which resulted in casualties. Hezbollah also reported that its fighters used artillery shells to target Israeli forces near Ramyah.
On 16 October 2024, Hezbollah reported that it hit an Israeli tank with a guided missile near Ramyah.
