The Iran-backed Hezbollah also announced launching dozens of rockets towards military sites along the Israeli border.
It’s noteworthy that following Hamas’ attacks on Israeli territory on October 7th, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had previously accused Hezbollah of aiding Hamas and threatened severe consequences.
Subsequently, Israel has targeted Hezbollah commanders and members of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards in multiple strikes in Syria, Libya, and Lebanon.
In response, Hezbollah has also carried out drone strikes along the Israeli border, targeting Israeli soldiers.
Hezbollah’s attacks have primarily targeted northern Israel, aimed at diverting Israeli focus away from Gaza.
