Israel responded to a rocket fire from southern Lebanon within hours as four months of critical trace with Hezbollah showed new signs of tension, even as Iran -backed group refused to be involved.
Israeli defense forces said it was attacking Hzbulullah’s positions on Saturday, including a command site and rocket launchers, when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu directed the army to attack dozens of terrorist targets. Lebanese local media, citing civil defense personnel, reported four killed, including a child, and at least 12 were injured in Tolon city.
Earlier, the IDF attacked dozens of Hezbollah rocket launchers and a command center in southern Lebanon, which led to Hezbollah terrorists operating. “
“Hezbollah denies any involvement in the rocket fire from southern Lebanon,” he said in a statement about Telegram, calling Israel’s accusations “excuses” for constant attacks.
Israel and Hezbollah launched a ceasefire at the end of November, which ended the one year long war. This war has been widely held, though Lebanon and Israel have accused each other of breaking the terms. For the first time since the arrival of the Seas Fire, the sound of air -rid sirens was coming in the region on Saturday.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said in a statement, “The Lebanese government is responsible for firing in any way from its territory.” “We will not allow the reality of firing from Lebanon on the Galilee communities.”
Lebanese President Naft Salam warned in a statement against new operations on the southern border, while President Joseph Aun condemned Lebanon’s attempt to drag Lebanon into a cycle of violence after several months of calm.
The Lebanese army said it had discovered and eliminated the “three ancient rocket launchers” in the south of the country. The UN interim force in Lebanon, Yunfel, said it was terrified of the possible increase of violence.
“The situation is very fragile, and we encourage both parties to keep their promises,” said in a statement.
