Israeli fighter jets carried out about 60 air strikes targeting Hezbollah strongholds in southern and eastern Lebanon. Lebanese military sources said that the planes fired about 150 air-to-ground missiles.
According to the report of news agency Xinhua, Lebanese military sources have described this attack as the most violent attack since October 8. So far the damage and casualties in this attack have not been ascertained.
The Israeli army said that the Air Force targeted 100 rocket launchers of Hezbollah with about 1,000 barrels.
This attack started in the afternoon and continued for several hours. Just before midnight, the Israeli army announced the completion of the operation.
The Israeli army says that the campaign of carrying out such attacks will continue in the future to weaken Hezbollah’s infrastructure and capabilities.
At the same time, Lebanese sources have claimed that about 50 Katyusha rockets were fired from southern Lebanon into northern Israel.
Earlier, there were deadly explosions in pagers and communication equipment for two consecutive days in Lebanon, killing many people and injuring thousands. At least 37 people are reported to have been killed and 2,931 injured in deadly explosions in pagers and communication equipment in Lebanon for two consecutive days. Following these blasts, Israel has fired 150 missiles at Hezbollah bases in Lebanon.
These recent developments reflect the latest escalation of the ongoing conflict on the Israel-Lebanon border. The conflict began on October 8, 2023. Hezbollah fired rockets at Israel in support of Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, in retaliation to which Israel also attacked with cannons and air strikes in southeastern Lebanon.
Even before this conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, there has been a long history of bloody conflict, in which both sides have suffered heavy losses. Thousands of people have been displaced due to this conflict.
Meanwhile, the Israeli army has instructed residents of the northern areas to stay near shelters and avoid non-essential outdoor activities due to the possibility of Hezbollah’s retaliatory action.
According to the report of news agency Xinhua, residents of Upper Galilee and the occupied Golan Heights were requested to move as little as possible on Thursday night, they were asked to stay close to shelters and were appealed to avoid crowds.
