After the recent assassination of one of Hezbollah's top commanders, the Israeli regime continues its deadly invasion of southern Lebanon, and the Lebanese resistance movement responds with dozens of retaliatory rockets.
Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Monitoring: On Thursday, an Israeli airstrike targeted a residence accommodating a Syrian family in the town of Chama in the country’s Tire District, Lebanon’s Health Ministry reported, according to press TV.
Four Syrians were killed and five Lebanese nationals wounded in the attack, it added.
Later in the day, Hezbollah released a statement, saying it had “fired dozens of Katyusha rockets at the settlement of Metzuba” in the Northern part of the occupied Palestinian territories.
Various reports said the movement had fired around 60 rockets towards the territories during the retaliation.
The Israeli attack came only two days after a similar strike by the regime targeted a building in a suburb of the country’s capital Beirut, assassinating Fuad Shukr, a senior Hezbollah commander and an advisor to the movement’s Secretary-General Seyed Hassan Nasrallah.
It also followed the regime’s assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas’ Political Bureau Chief, in the Iranian capital of Tehran.
Most recently, the Hezbollah leader said fighting against the regime had entered “a new phase” after the dual assassinations. Israel had “crossed red lines” in the assassinations and it had to expect “rage and revenge on all the fronts”, he said.
The Israeli regime has been conducting sporadic attacks on Lebanon since October 7, 2023, when it launched a genocidal war against the Gaza Strip. The attacks have prompted a firefight with Hezbollah.
Hezbollah fought off two Israeli wars against Lebanon in 2000 and 2006, forcing a humiliating retreat upon the Tel Aviv regime’s military on both occasions.
The movement has vowed to defend the country with all its resources in the event of another one./Fars News
