Hezbollah claims four attacks on Israel on Wednesday
The armed group said it continued its attacks on northern Israel “in support of the Palestinian people in Gaza” and in retaliation for Israeli attacks on Majdal Selem and Blida in southern Lebanon on Wednesday.
The four attacks were:
- Rocket attack on Israeli artillery positions in the city of Neve Ziv
- Rocket attack on the headquarters of a company affiliated with the 810th Hermon Brigade in the Habushit Mountain
- Rocket attack on Al Sahl Battalion in the Beit Hillel barracks
- Artillery attack on Bayyad Blida site
The assaults came as Lebanon reeled from deadly handheld radio explosions and Israel continued to attack villages in southern parts of the country.
Lebanon’s Al Mayadeen TV retired Israeli attacks on al-Jebbayn, Shama, Majdal Zoun, Kfar Kila, Kfarchouba, Hula, al-Taybeh, the forest between Kunin and Beit Yahoun, as well as the outskirts of Yater.
Five Israeli soldiers injured in Hezbollah missile attack
Israeli media reports say that Hezbollah fired two missiles from southern Lebanon into the Upper Galilee region of northern Israel. According to Walla news outlet, a rescue helicopter evacuated the injured soldiers to hospital in the Israeli city of Haifa.
Israeli military claims hits on Hezbollah targets overnight
Israel’s military claims it carried out a string of air strikes on Hezbollah positions overnight, including one of its weapons depots in southern Lebanon. The strikes took place in Taybeh, Blida, Meiss el-Jabal, Aitaroun, Kfar Kila, Khiam and Chihine, according to the military.
Eight injured by missile attack in northern Israel
Israeli Army Radio is reporting that a Hezbollah missile attack in Israel’s northern Galilee area has injured at least eight people. One of them is in critical condition, according to the media.
Earlier, Israel’s Walla news outlet reported an attack in the same area that injured five soldiers.
More strikes in northern Israel cause injuries
At least three drone attacks struck the Israeli areas of Kiryat Shmona and Beit Hillel near the Lebanese border, reports Israel’s Ynet News site. Air sirens did not go off before the attacks.
Meanwhile, a projectile also hit the northern Israeli community of Ya’ara, injuring several people, reports The Times of Israel.
The attacks follow an earlier missile attack that hit Israel’s Ramim Ridge in the northern Galilee area, injuring at least eight people, one critically.
Tensions between Israel and Hezbollah have spiked following two days of explosions from detonating electronic devices across Lebanon, in an attack widely blamed on Israel.
