Hezbollah ramped up attacks from southern Lebanon on December 17, targeting several positions and gathering of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) along the border.
The Iranian-backed group announced attacks against the Israeli military sites of Birkat Risha, Jal al-Alam and al-Raheb as well as the Avivim barracks and a newly-established headquarters near the settlement of Even Menachem.
It also said it had targeted gatherings of troops and equipment of the IDF in the border areas of Hanita, Horsh Adathar and Hunine.
Hezbollah fighters also struck a house occupied by four Israeli soldiers in the settlement of Sasa and destroyed surveillance equipment in the settlement of Doviev.
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 said.
In addition to these attacks, a salvo of rockets hit the settlement of Margaliot. No casualties were reported and Hezbollah didn’t claim the attack.
During the day, IDF fighter jets, attack helicopters, drones and main battle tanks hit several targets of Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, including weapons, observation posts, positions and fighters. Lebanese media didn’t report any casualties.
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant made new threats to Hezbollah while visiting troops on the border with Lebanon in the morning.
“If Hezbollah wants to go up one level, we will go up five,” the minister said. “And it will be up to you … We don’t wish for that, we don’t want to get into a war situation. We want to restore peace.”
Gallant also vowed to restore security in northern Israel so that residents of Lebanon border settlements can return to their homes.
“And we will do this either through an agreement process, or with forceful action, with all its implications,” he said. “We don’t want war, but we won’t hold it for too long.”
Earlier this month, Israel warned it will no longer tolerate the presence of Hezbollah on its northern front, where it could attempt to carry out a surprise attack similar to that launched by the Hamas Movement from Gaza on October 7. The group continues to ignore this warning.
sf sounds like a zio propaganda loudspeaker „iranian backed“ all the time. in the same vein, and more, you could call the idf „us-backed“ all the time.
the idf can kill buildings with american help but it can never kill the memory of the tens of thousands of innocent people slaughtered by them in palestine and during 9/11
zionist apartheid ii will be finished by similar way as south african apartheid i:
after whole world and southfront understand that khazars are of khazaria empire origin criminal entity
the zionist are not going anywhere they are winning! they have already killed over18,000 people and injured more than 50,000 people and the world is silent! including the arab world which are cowards, worried about themselves being destroyed in war if they go against israel and the u.s.! germany made it a requirement to achieve german citizenship, that you have to unconditionally support israel. the israelis all across the globe are preventing average citizens from speaking out against them!
the germanistan nazi$ apparently killed over 666 million chosenites and look what happened to them
o hezbollah tem que atacar as cidades israelenses. israel através de gallant implora ao hezbollah que não ataque israel. quem tem medo de israel? quem tem medo dos filho isaac do falso profeta abraao? pra cima deles hezbollah!
you seem like sleaze speaking portuguese.
libtard outburst
oh well, it’s hard to feel sorry for the lebanese civilian population when they keep allowing hezbollah to attack israel, knowing full well what response the israelis will deliver back! israel has warned them that if they keep attacking, they will turn their entire country into gaza! and now israeli leaders are declaring they will no longer tolerate hezbollah presence on their northern border. the stupid lebanese population just stood by as hezbollah like hamas led them to the slaughter!
are you under the impression that no one is aware that you’re a hired kike troll..?
israel has been “threatening” hezbollah for weeks now, and doing jacksh!t. put up or shut up.
when you can’t beat the weaker enemy, hamas, go after the stronger enemy, hezbollah. makes perfect sense.
how many times do you need to make ‘threats’?? talks big and tough but can’t deliver.
everytime you see a big bomb dropped by israel it’s made in america.
the diaper headed shlomo baby killers are spooked and the more the gallant resistance to khazar terror slaughters these thieving squatters the more the abomination in occupied palestine wobbles. like their khazar clown cousins in rump ukraine when the ussa can no longer finance this terror the evil that is israhell will be destroyed. muslims will unite and the zionazi beast will be slaughtered. urup and uss must prepare for their ghetto chosenites to return to source.
india and brazil support israel. russia and china are neutral and dislike hamas.
serbia and armenia dislike hezbollah so i don’t support them.
