Israel Hits Hezbollah Targets After Rocket Attack From Southern Lebanon
The Times of Israel: IDF “jets struck dozens of Hezbollah rocket launchers and a command center from which Hezbollah terrorists were operating in southern Lebanon.”
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on Saturday hit a Hezbollah command center and several terrorist targets in southern Lebanon after rockets were fired at northern Israel. Today’s rocket attack from Lebanon is the latest in the series of ceasefire violations by the Iran-backed terrorist group, jeopardizing the truce that came into effect nearly four months ago.
“Israeli artillery and airstrikes hit south Lebanon on Saturday after Israel said it had intercepted rockets fired from across the border, endangering a shaky truce that ended a year-long war between Israel and Lebanese armed group Hezbollah,” Reuters reported.
The Israeli military response came after Hezbollah fired multiple rockets at the northern Israeli town of Metula. “Six rockets were fired from Lebanon at Metula on Saturday morning in the first rocket attack on the northern border since December,” The Times of Israel reported. “The Israel Defense Forces later responded with a wave of airstrikes on dozens of Hezbollah rocket launchers and a command center used by the terror group in south Lebanon.”

The Israeli news website YNET reported:
Israel conducted extensive air strikes on South Lebanon on Saturday after a rocket attack targeting the border town of Metual early in the morning.
At least six rockets were launched, three landed short of the border and three others were intercepted by IDF aerial defenses, the military said.
The IDF said in a statement that its jets struck dozens of Hezbollah rocket launchers and a command center from which Hezbollah terrorists were operating in southern Lebanon. “The rocket fire launched this morning (Saturday) toward the Galilee constitutes a blatant violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon and is a direct threat to the citizens of the State of Israel. The State of Lebanon bears responsibility for upholding the agreement,” the military said. (…)
The air force strikes continued throughout the morning after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz said they instructed the military to respond with force to the attack. (…)
The Lebanese army said earlier that they had located makeshift rocket launchers used in the strike on Metula. They said the launchers were found north of the Litani River.

Since Israel in late November 2024 agreed to a ceasefire backed by the Biden administration, Hezbollah has violated the truce multiple times. The Iran-backed Lebanese terrorist group has been regrouping its terrorist forces and smuggling weapons into southern Lebanon, in breach of the ceasefire agreement.
IDF hits Iranian terror militia targets in Syria
Israeli fighter jets on Friday night struck Syria military sites linked to an unnamed Iranian terrorist militia.
“The Israeli military late on Friday carried out airstrikes targeting headquarters that previously belonged to Iranian militias in the Palmyra military airport, a spokesperson said,” the Israeli TV channel i24NEWS reported. “The strikes targeted what remained of Iranian strategic military capabilities” in Palmyra, the IDF said.”

The Israeli airstrikes are part of an ongoing campaign to dismantle military assets belonging to Syria’s ousted Assad regime. The IDF wants to prevent the former regime’s heavy weaponry and long-range military capabilities from falling into the hands of jihadists and other terrorist outfits scrambling for control over Syria.
“A short while ago, the IDF struck military strategic capabilities that remained at the Syrian military bases of Tadmur and T4,” the Israeli military said Friday night. “The IDF will continue to act to remove any threat posed to the citizens of the State of Israel.”

It’s great when a plan comes together. For our allies, not their enemies.
.
Oh no! Trump will with hold weapons from Israel.
Ha ha. Not Trump. That was Biden. He’s gone. Run for your life Hamas terrorists!
Okay. Okay. Hezbollah.
They all look the same to me.
Both sides get what they want. Hezbollah gets an attack statement and gets Israel to bully them back, a propaganda plus. Israel gets to smash whatever is the highest priority target in the area.
It’s pretty balanced and can be continued forever.
So Israel responding to acts of war is bullying? It’s Humpty Dumpty time again, I see.
rhardin is a closet antisemite. He loves to walk as fine a line as he can between overt and covert antisemitism but sometimes he steps out of that closet and his real feelings become apparent.
Do a general internet search on rhhardin. What you find will be baffling.
After about a year and a half away from their homes, jobs and schools, Israelis have returned to the North pursuant to a guarantee from the government that they will be safe. The government has to strike back hard to keep that promise.
You remain clueless. Stick to numbers, rh. You remain detached from human emotion and your attempts to quantify humanity with logic fall short because you don’t know what you’re talking about.
I thought the cease-fire arrangement was between Lebanon and Israel. If so, doesn’t that make Lebanese installations fair targets as well?
