Hezbollah fires rockets after Israeli strike on Lebanon

SpaceWar.com reports: “Lebanon’s Hezbollah launched rockets at Israel on Saturday after an Israeli air strike that according to a Lebanese security source killed two civilians in the country’s south.

The Israeli military, whose forces have been trading regular cross-border fire with Hezbollah since early October, said its raid had targeted two operatives from the Iran-backed group.

The Shiite Muslim movement said it had retaliated by launching dozens of rockets at the border town of Kiryat Shmona, in Israel’s north.

The Israeli military said four soldiers were wounded including one ‘severely’, after air defences intercepted most of the ‘approximately 15 launches… identified crossing from Lebanon’.

Israeli aircraft then ‘struck a Hezbollah field commander who was operating in the area of (Kfar) Tebnit in southern Lebanon’, the military added.

Lebanon’s official National News Agency (NNA) reported multiple wounded in an Israeli drone strike on a vehicle near Kfar Tebnit.

Hezbollah had already launched multiple attacks against Israeli military positions along the border on Saturday…”
