On Tuesday, a Hezbollah commander was killed in an Israeli attack on southern Lebanon. The terrorist militia took revenge by firing massive rockets at Israel. This did not go unanswered.
The radical Islamic group Hezbollah has fired several rocket salvos from Lebanon at Israel in response to the death of one of its commanders. Lebanese security sources said Hezbollah used more than 100 missiles, making it one of the largest attacks since October.
According to the military, Israeli fighter jets then attacked targets in southern Lebanon again. On Tuesday evening, according to security sources, three other Hezbollah fighters were killed in addition to the commander in an Israeli attack in southern Lebanon.
According to reports, the commander was to be buried later that day. The Israeli military had not yet made a statement. Since the beginning of the Gaza war in October, the Iranian-backed Hezbollah and Israel have been fighting regularly in the border region with Lebanon.
Israel has so far counted around 300 Hezbollah fighters and around 80 civilians killed. According to Israeli sources, 18 soldiers and ten civilians have been killed in attacks from Lebanon.
