The Lebanese Islamist movement Hezbollah said it had fired dozens of rockets into northern Israel in response to the death of two civilians in southern Lebanon, in an attack it blamed on Israel.
Hezbollah fighters fired “dozens of Katyusha rockets” at northern Israel “in response to the Israeli enemy’s attacks on civilian homes, especially for the massacre in Hanin and the deaths of civilians,” the pro-Iranian Shiite movement said in a statement.
Since the start of the war between Israel and the Palestinian movement Hamas in the Gaza Strip on October 7, there has been a daily exchange of fire between the Israeli army and Hezbollah, which claims to support the Palestinian Islamist movement.
Pro-Iranian Hezbollah, which has an arsenal of rockets and precision missiles, targets Israeli military positions and locations near the border, and Israel responds by bombing targets on Lebanese territory, mostly in the south, including targeted attacks on Hezbollah and Hamas officials.
