Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said it directed the army to respond strongly to dozens of targets in Lebanon, where Iran-backed Hezbollah lives. Israeli troops said six rockets shot at Metula, which was along a small town on the border with Lebanon. The three crossed Israel and were intercepted.

The Army said, “The identity of the organization that launched the rocket cannot be confirmed.” It said it attacked Hezbollah command center and dozens of rocket launchers.

Five people were killed in Israeli strikes in villages in southern Lebanon, including one child, 10 of whom were injured, including two children, according to Lebanon’s state-run news agency.

Another Israeli strike attacked a garage of tires in coastal areas Saturday night, the NNA reported. According to the NNA, this is the first attack on the city since it came into effect on November 27.

A Hezbollah official told the Associated Press on Saturday that it was not assumed for the “original attack” for the first attack, which was “original” because they had no right to talk to the media and therefore spoke on anonymous.

Hezbollah starts launching rockets, drones and missiles at Israel the next day Hamas October 7, 2023attacked Gaza and ignited the war there. Israel-The Hebraic conflict boiled in September a full-scale war, with Israel carrying out numerous air strikes and killing senior leaders of most militant groups. The battle killed more than 4,000 people in Lebanon and displaced about 60,000 Israelis.

Under the ceasefire that arrived in November, Israeli forces should withdraw from all Lebanese territory by late January. The deadline was subsequently extended to February 18 through an agreement between Lebanon and Israel.

But since then, Israel has remained at five locations in Lebanon, across the neighborhoods in northern Israel and carried out dozens of air strikes in southern and eastern Lebanon, claiming it had attacked Hezbollah. Lebanon has called on the United Nations to put pressure on Israel to withdraw completely.

The United Nations temporary forces in Lebanon, known as Unifil, said it was shocked by the possible escalation of violence and urged all parties to avoid the progress made by harm, saying further escalation could have serious consequences for the region.

Lebanon’s strike against Lebanon comes the day after Israel said it would “increase in intensity” the operation in Gaza until Hamas released the 59 hostages it owned, 24 of which were believed to be alive.

Hamas-led militants attacked about 1,200 people in 2023 and occupied 251 hostages. According to Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry, Israel’s retaliatory offensive killed more than 49,000 Palestinians. It doesn’t mean how many militants are, but it says more than half are women and children. Israel said it has killed about 20,000 militants and provided no evidence.
