MADRID, 11 (EUROPA PRESS)
The Shiite militia party Hezbollah launched nearly 50 projectiles this Tuesday from southern Lebanon against northern Israel, with no casualties reported, in the midst of an uptick in tensions after more than eight months of continuous border fighting. of the attacks carried out on October 7 by the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) against Israeli territory.
Hezbollah has indicated that it has launched an attack with “appropriate weapons” against “enemy soldiers” in northern Israel and has assured that it has caused “deaths and injuries”, as reported by the Lebanese television channel Al Manar, linked to the group, after which the Israeli Army has confirmed the event and denied that there were any victims.
Thus, the Israeli Army has stated that it has detected “about 50 launches that crossed from Lebanese territory into the central area of the Golan Heights.” “The air defense systems intercepted many of them, while the rest fell in open areas, without victims,” he noted.
In addition, it has confirmed the downing of a drone launched by the group across the border after air alerts went off in the area due to “the infiltration of a hostile device.”
On the other hand, the Lebanese group has confirmed the death of two other of its members, Abbas Muhamad Naser and Bilal Uayi Alaedín, who “have risen as martyrs on the road to Jerusalem” – terminology it uses for those killed in the last round of clashes with Israel–, without providing details about when or where they died.
The Israeli Army and Hezbollah – backed by Iran and which has significant political weight in Lebanon – have maintained a series of clashes since October 8, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned last week that the Israeli Army “is prepared for a very powerful action” on the border with Lebanon.
