On Friday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported that Lebanon had launched 20 rockets and two anti-tank missiles towards Israel. The IDF identified the two anti-tank missile launches as originating from Ayta ash Shab in southern Lebanon. In response, the IDF targeted the launcher and a Hezbollah military compound near it.
Additionally, the IDF conducted strikes on other Hezbollah targets, including military compounds and terrorist infrastructure in the Chebaa area of southern Lebanon. These actions were taken following the missile attacks from Lebanon.
Earlier the same day, Hezbollah, an Iran-backed militant group in Lebanon, claimed responsibility for the attacks in retaliation to alleged Israeli strikes on Damascus and Aleppo. The situation remains tense as both sides continue to engage in military actions along the Israel-Lebanon border.
