Hezbollah fights back as Israel continues with intense air attacks
The Israeli air force is continuing to carry out intense air attacks across southern Lebanon, as well as in other areas where Hezbollah has influence.
In recent days, we’ve seen an increase in the number of attacks in Syria, which the Israeli military considers to be a logistical base for Hezbollah. Israel wants to stop the flow of weapons into Lebanon, but Hezbollah is fighting back.
Yesterday it launched dozens of rockets from southern Lebanon into the Haifa area – Israel’s third-largest city – causing material damage to cars and homes.
Hezbollah’s strategy is to keep this war costly for the Israelis, to put pressure on them and prevent the tens of thousands of their citizens from returning to their homes in the north of Israel.
But many are arguing at what cost?
In the past week alone, more than 240 people have been killed and 600 injured, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry.

The three separate statements by the military’s Arabic-language spokesman, Avichay Adraee, included maps marked with the mentioned buildings in red. “You are located near Hezbollah facilities and interests”, against which the Israeli forces will “act forcefully in the near future”, Adraee said.
