Hezbollah has launched two drone attacks against the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) in less than 24 hours in response to the war on the Gaza Strip.
The first attack, which took place March 30, targeted the headquarters of the IDF’s “western brigade” near the settlement of Ya’ara, while the second targeted an Israeli artillery position and nearby gatherings in the settlement of Barkhaa on March 31.
There were no reports of any interceptions along the front with Lebanon after the first attack. However, the IDF admitted the next day that a drone hit the occupied Lebanese Shebaa Farms. There were no reports of casualties in Hebrew media.
In two separate statements, Hezbollah said that the attacks were carried out “to support the steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and in support of their brave and honorable resistance.”
Hezbollah launched five more attacks against the IDF in support of Gaza on March 31. The group announced in separate statements that its fighters fired Brukan improvised heavy rockets at the al-Malikiyah site and shelled the sites of Ruwaisat al-Alam, Zabdin and the Ramim barracks. The fighters also targeted surveillance equipment at the al-Jardah site.
In addition, Hezbollah’s Military Media released video footage of two recent attacks that targeted the settlement of Admit and a gathering of Israeli troops in al-Rahib site.
From its side, the IDF announced in a statement that a soldier was wounded in a rocket strike on Kiryat Shmona, although Hezbollah didn’t announce any attack on the settlement.
In response to the attack, Israeli fighter jets struck Hezbollah sites in the towns of Khiam and Rab al-Thalathine, and troops shelled areas near the town Houla with artillery to “remove threats,” the IDF said. The three towns are all located in southern Lebanon.
The IDF announced in the same statement that another Hezbollah building in the town of Jebbayn, also in southern Lebanon, was struck last night.
In addition to the strikes announced by the IDF, Lebanese media said that an Israeli drone strike hit a vehicle in the southern Lebanese town of Kounine. According to preliminary information, a commander of Hezbollah was killed in the strike. This is yet to be confirmed by the group, however.
The clashes on the Lebanese-Israeli border first broke out after the start of the war in Gaza last October, with Hezbollah and its allies carrying out attacks in support of the Strip.
So far, the border clashes have resulted in eight civilian deaths on the Israeli side, as well as the deaths of at least ten IDF soldiers and reservists. On the Lebanese side, more than 300 people have been killed, including 246 fighters of Hezbollah and at least 60 civilians.

kedy asi tak sa spoja proti sionistom? čo im v tom stále bráni? žid prevádza genocídu v pásme gazy a všetci sa iba prizerajú? jediný kto začal boj proti tyranovi sú husiovia? to ako fakt?
boom boom boom boom, i want you out of palestine 🎵🎵🎵
what would the realistic israeli losses be by this point i wonder? 1000?
realistic to put that despite zio derisory lies of single numbers , there could be at least 50 of the ‘most moral’ kiddie killers terminated on the northern front.
israel says under 300. they are the most advanced nation in the world.
if you think they can hide death numbers from friends family and social media you are brain dead clowns.
the fact is muslim always have been and always will be useless fighters. they simply do not comprehend how combat works.
bugy men will destroy all israel, extermination of secular, and non secular most likely. you shall never rise again like british empire and soon to be nato.
