Lebanese Hezbollah said it fired dozens of rockets at a military “base” in northern Israel on Saturday, presenting this attack as the first response to eliminating Hamas’ number two in its stronghold near Beirut.
“In the first response to the assassination of the great leader Sheikh Saleh al-Arouri (…), the Islamic resistance (Hezbollah, ed.) targeted the (military) base of Meron with 62 missiles of different types“the pro-Iranian movement said in a statement.
The scene of new Israeli attacks on Saturday, the Gaza Strip has become a “place of death” that is simply “uninhabitable”, the UN warned after nearly three months of relentless Israel/Hamas war that could set the region alight.
According to AFP journalists, the Israeli attacks erupted early Saturday morning in Rafah, a city at the southern end of the Gaza Strip where hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have taken refuge in recent weeks trying to escape the fighting.
The Gaza Strip is”simply become uninhabitable“, and its inhabitants”face daily threats before the eyes of the world“, summarized the coordinator of humanitarian affairs of the United Nations, Martin Griffiths.
According to Unicef the clashes, malnutrition and the health situation have created”a cycle of death that threatens more than 1.1 million children” in this impoverished territory even before the start of the war.
