On Sunday, Israeli army spokesman Avichay Adraee reported that Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon had been targeted.
Adraee said: “Since the beginning of the war against Hamas, Hezbollah has decided to join the fight on behalf of Iran, without any justification.”
He added: “Following the damage that Hamas has suffered in recent weeks on all fronts, yesterday Hezbollah launched missiles towards military bases in the north, hitting the northern air control unit on Mount Meron. This damage will be repaired. L “The unit continues to operate and has other systems. There have been no casualties.”
He continued: “In response, we targeted important Hezbollah military interests, including a complex used by its surface-to-air missile unit, and eliminated seven saboteurs who carried out the launch operations.”
He underlined: “These attacks significantly damage Hezbollah’s Radwan forces in southern Lebanon and force them to move away from the border. We are determined to work with the aim of creating a different security reality in the north that guarantees security for the population” .
Hezbollah has struck Israeli military bases and sites near Israel’s northern border with Lebanon since October 8, the day after war broke out between Hamas and Israel in Gaza, and in return Israel has struck Hezbollah sites.
The near-daily clashes have escalated sharply in the past week after an apparent Israeli raid in a southern suburb of Beirut led to the killing of the deputy director of Hamas’s political bureau and the movement’s top leader, Saleh Al-Arouri.
The secretary general of the Hezbollah group, Hassan Nasrallah, promised in a speech on Saturday that the group would retaliate, rejecting criticism that the group was trying to start a full-scale war with Israel, but he said: “If the enemy thinks of waging war against Lebanon, he will do so… Our fight is without limits, without rules, without borders and without controls. We are not afraid of war, nor do we fear it.”
On Saturday, Hezbollah announced a “first response” to the killing of Al-Arouri, launching sixty-two missiles at the Meron air base for reconnaissance and surveillance.
The Lebanese government and the international community are making great efforts to prevent the outbreak of war in Lebanon, which they fear could trigger a wider regional war.
