Israel has launched strikes against Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon in response to rockets fired by Hezbollah militants. The Israeli military confirmed the strikes, stating that they targeted weapons storage and launch sites belonging to the Shia militant group.
The rocket attacks by Hezbollah came after Israeli forces conducted airstrikes in Syria in an effort to prevent the transfer of advanced weapons to the militant group. In a statement, Hezbollah condemned the Israeli airstrikes in Syria and vowed to respond with force.
The escalation of violence between Israel and Hezbollah has raised concerns about a potential broader conflict in the region. The United Nations has called for restraint from both sides in order to prevent further escalation.
The Israeli military has stated that it holds the Lebanese government responsible for the rocket attacks by Hezbollah, as the group operates within Lebanese territory. The Lebanese government has denied any involvement in the rocket attacks and has called for calm and restraint.
The strikes by Israel against Hezbollah targets mark the latest chapter in a long history of conflict between the two sides. Hezbollah, which is backed by Iran, has been a formidable adversary for Israel, launching attacks and engaging in conflicts with Israeli forces for decades.
As the situation continues to escalate, the international community is closely monitoring the developments and calling for a peaceful resolution to the conflict. Both Israel and Hezbollah have been urged to exercise restraint and avoid further military action that could result in a broader conflict in the region.
