MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) struck positions of Lebanese Shia movement Hezbollah in southern Lebanon in response to Hezbollah shelling, the IDF said in a statement on Telegram.
Earlier, a source told Sputnik that Hezbollah launched a rocket salvo towards IDF positions near Lebanon's southern border.
"Following the sirens that sounded at 21:44 in the western Galilee area, numerous projectiles crossed from Lebanon into Israeli territory, some of which were intercepted, and the rest fell in open areas. No injuries were reported. Shortly after the launches were carried out, the IAF [Israeli Air Force] struck the Hezbollah launcher from which the projectiles were launched in the area of Yater in southern Lebanon," the IDF said.
It said IDF artillery also fired to remove threats in the areas of Rmaych and Ramyeh in southern Lebanon.
Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah said Thursday in an address in connection with the killing of Sayyed Mouhsen, also known as "Fouad Shokur," and Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh that the movement will resume a "support front" for the Gaza Strip and attacks on Israel's military positions starting Friday morning.
