Israel Strikes Hezbollah Military Complex In Southern Lebanon

Aftermath of impact from rocket fired from Lebanon, amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas, in Kiryat Shmona close to Israel's border with Lebanon

Israel carried out airstrikes on a large military complex used by Hezbollah militants in Al Rihan, southern Lebanon on Saturday morning, as confirmed by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). The IDF stated that the airstrikes targeted a significant military complex belonging to the Hezbollah terrorist organization, which included military compounds and a military post in the Rihan area of Lebanon.

Following the airstrikes, the IDF released a blurry video showing the moment of the attack, with two visible explosions. This action by Israel came after a series of airstrikes conducted the day before, aimed at military buildings utilized by Hezbollah fighters in various locations in southern Lebanon.

On the same day as the airstrikes, Lebanon witnessed an escalation in tensions when 40 rockets were launched from Lebanese territory towards northern Israel. Hezbollah later claimed responsibility for the rocket attacks, further heightening the already tense situation in the region.

The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah has been a source of instability in the Middle East for years, with both sides engaging in periodic confrontations and retaliatory actions. The recent airstrikes and rocket attacks underscore the volatile nature of the situation and the potential for further escalation in the region.
