Three personnel of the Lebanese Civil Defense were killed and two others were wounded late on September 7 when an Israeli strike targeted southern Lebanon, the heartland of Hezbollah.
Lebanese military sources told China’s Xinhua news agency that an Israeli combat drone fired a missile at a group of Civil Defense personnel who were trying to extinguish a fire caused by a previous strike on the valley of Froun near the border with Israel.
The three Civil Defense personnel killed in the drone strike were identified as Abbas Hammoud, Muhammad Hashem and Qassem Bazzi. Both Hashem and Bazzi were members of the Amal Movement party, which is the top ally of Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Early on September 8, Hezbollah responded to the deadly strike by launching two salvos of rockets at the settlement of Kiryat Shemona and another at the settlement of Shamir. Both settlements are located in northern Israel, close to the border with Lebanon.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said that some 50 rockets were launched from Lebanon at Israel overnight, casual material losses only.
In retaliation, Israeli strikes hit buildings used by Hezbollah in the towns of Aitaroun, Maroun al-Ras and Yaroun in southern Lebanon, according to the IDF. Video footage of the strikes were released. No casualties were reported by Lebanese media.
The clashes on the Lebanese-Israeli border first broke out after the start of the war on Gaza last October, with Hezbollah and its allies launching near-daily attacks against the IDF in support of the Strip.
So far, the border clashes have resulted in 26 civilian deaths in Israel and the occupied Golan as well as the deaths of at least 20 soldiers and security officers. On the Lebanese side, more than 870 people have been killed, including 433 fighters of Hezbollah and over 150 civilians.

as i told before, it is ai which selects targets for israel wars now. please forward any further complaints about target selection to nvidia, anduril, boston dynamics and all of these guys.
i think they’ll send you right where the sun doesn’t shine.
hahaha hahahaha as if he was being serious
dream on. as if.
i forsee a serious spanking coming for israhell real soon from the axis of fire. weapon systems almost in place.
hmmm. if i take into account the results of all previous arab wars against israel and include the fact that russia is screwing up again in it, i can bet with certainty that israel’s borders will again expand by a few tens of kilometers in all directions.
time will tell
israel is waiting for the results of the us elections. if trump wins, israel will get a green flag for swift and destructive strikes on anything that moves, and we can expect a huge escalation against iran with a possible hot war between iran and the us. if kamala wins, we can expect huge censorship of everything, including wars in the middle east and a lot of anti-israel rhetoric, but zero action and constant tacit support. i don’t know which one is better, as both scenarios are pretty bleak.
do you think the ever-failing us military with its trannies and obese and diseased citizens is going to save israel, or finally stir up every single arab?
yes yes, transsexual team 6 and the heavy lesbian diversity brigade will definitely save the shlomos. those fearsome goy warriors are about to be unleashed, with president biden’s own san francisco gays taking the enemy from the rear.
the most feared of the roman legions, who are renowned as the most brutal bloodthirsty army ever, was in fact the exclusively gay legion. you mob of parrots of pc nazi propagandas are thoroughly uneducated. you know nothing whatsoever about arabs either. your so naive it’s actually a curiosity as to whether’s you’ve even ever been outside your own backyard
it’s not about borders its about globalists from wef wanting to eradicate all nationalism based on either racial or religious exclusivity. it’s just convenient for them that they hate jews.
terrorism. 100%
ars you describing the army who shot the members of an terrorist organisation who were told where innocently putting out a fire. in some no doubt heavily edited censored clipped for propaganda purposes alleged video?
so hezbollahs allied “movements” are civilians now? is that the politically correct way to describe wartime events then or us it a reflection of law fare over warfare?
