Even ‘Limited’ Israeli Ground Operation Against Hezbollah in Lebanon Would Be ‘Perilous’: Here’s Why
Hezbollah also reported that it unleashed two more attacks on Israeli positions at the Metula and Shtula settlements.
Tensions along the Israeli-Lebanese border escalated significantly following the initiation of Israel's military operation in the Gaza Strip in October 2023. Since then, the Israeli military and Hezbollah fighters have engaged in near-daily exchanges of fire in various locations along the border.
On Monday, Israel unleashed extensive airstrikes upon southern and eastern Lebanon. Chief of Staff of the Israeli Defense Forces, Herzi Halevi, dubbed the military operation "Northern Arrows." In response, Hezbollah launched a barrage of rockets into northern Israel. This escalation followed a string of explosions involving pagers and walkie-talkies in Lebanon on September 17-18, killing over 40 and leaving roughly 3,500 wounded.
On Saturday, Hezbollah confirmed that its chief Hassan Nasrallah had been killed in an Israeli airstrike on Beirut on Friday.
