Hezbollah launched more attacks from southern Lebanon against the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) on February 2, ignoring more threats by Israel.
In two separate statements, Hezbollah said its fighters fired rockets at the Ruwaisat al-Alam military site near the border with Lebanon and later targeted a gathering of Israeli troops nearby. The group announced in another statement that it had targeted a building in the settlement of Avivim with “suitable weapons.”
The attacks were carried out in support of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and in response to recent Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon, Hezbollah said.
Separately, Hezbollah’s Military Media released video footage showing an attack with Russian-made Kornet anti-tank guided missiles that targeted surveillance equipment at the al-Radar military site on one of the peaks of Mount Hermon a day earlier.
From its side, the IDF announced that it struck a cell and Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon in response to recent attacks by the group.
The cell was struck by a fighter jet in the town of Aitaroun, the IDF said, adding that fighter jets also hit several sites of Hezbollah in the towns of Khiam, Qana and Jabal Blat, and artillery shelled areas in the towns of Jebbayn, Atta al-Shaab and Aitaroun to “remove threats.”
Lebanese media said that the airstrikes on Jebbayn hit the building of a civilian cooperative. However, there were no casualties.
Hezbollah and its allies have been launching attacks from southern Lebanon against the IDF since the outbreak of the war in Gaza. Israel has been growing frustrated with the border clashes, which displaced more than 80,000 from its northern areas.
Touring the north, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant warned that a pause in the war on Gaza will not apply to the ongoing clashes with Hezbollah.
“If Hezbollah thinks that when there is a ceasefire in the south it will hold fire and we’ll stop, it’s making a big mistake,” Gallant said after meeting troops from the IDF’s Alpine Unit on Mount Hermon, according to a statement from his office.
He added: “I say here explicitly: Until we reach a situation in which it’s possible to restore security for residents of the north, we will not stop. When we reach this through a [diplomatic] arrangement or military means, we can be calm.”
So far, the clashes on the Lebanese-Israeli border have resulted in six civilian deaths on the Israeli side, as well as the deaths of nine IDF soldiers. On the Lebanese side, more than 200 have been killed. The toll includes 166 Hezbollah fighters, 14 of whom were killed in Syria, 28 Palestinians, a Lebanese soldier, and at least 24 civilians.
gallant (gaylord), minister of war of the zionist regime: “if hezbollah thinks that when a ceasefire is established in the south, we will call for a ceasefire in north, they are very wrong.”
1. there is no ceasefire in the south you rtded zionist. 2. as matter of fact zionist want to invade rafah, which egypt with its big mouth says they would attack zionist “if they dare”.
“according to hebrew media outlets (ynet), the israeli air force has called up retired pilots between the ages of 54 and 55 due to critical need of experienced pilots for the air force.” – it happened in 1973 but back then several hunter squadrons in that war lost up to 95% of its combat efficiency.
new: confirmed u.s. airstrikes in al-mayadeen and al-bukamal in syria (iraq-syria border).
p.s. still waiting for more info…
if the attacks are really anything major – pmus will kill more yanquis just to start a war.
going by how the us the past days 24/7 asking iran to not attack them it is clear they want to attack a few positions which aren’t important and say “we did a lot look”…
even by saying that i’m 100% sure pums will attack yanquis again… for supporting palestine, revenging and making these pigs to leave their country.
seems like their strategy is to make a temporary deal in gaza and attack hezbollah in lebanon. let’s see how that works out.
and if that happens, would hamas do nothing while their allies were being bombed? or would they try to relieve their pressure?
big question is why the iran alliance does not get more manpads or better air defences against the zionist west
okay, how well that worked in ukraine? you need layers on top layers of air defence systems for it to work, and that cost a lot. the piss dome is the joke now, why? they just had 3 months “war” with hamas lmfao.
also, in case of a real war they would destroy zionist air ports – people forget that hezbollah alone can hit all of “israel”.
brother one drone killed 3 yanquis and fuked 40 more… yanquis had no clue what hit them or from where.
the russians never fly over ukrop held territory. they have lost too many aircraft to overfly the country and bomb the rear areas. missiles for long range and attack drones for short range are the name of the game now. one russian drone operator started keeping score and the last count was some 200+ ukrop infantry dead in about two months not counting vehicles destroyed.
another dumb amerikunt
one would think that they would come in very handy with their choppers. two fired on a chopper would likely bring it down. works in ukr. best to wait for a ‘rescue mission’, then hit it. i’m surprised they haven’t hit one landing with rpgs or atgms. chaf doesn’t mean doo doo to them.
my bet is the area is covered by surveillance drones and satellites 24/7 and the jews know every move anyone makes in lebanon and syria. plus the us supplies the jews with all the us military satellite real time surveillance.
good question. if they cant get manpads then i wonder about possibility for drone to fly straight into helicopters. another option is to build rockets that deploy long streams of wire into the incoming path of aircraft.
“al-mayadeen confirms that almost all of the sites targeted by the u.s. strikes in iraq and syria had already been completely evacuated.”
that is very good news if true.
“since the outbreak of the war in gaza” in an incorrect statement. it should have been written “since the israeli’s launched their genocide of 2,000,000 people in the gaza strip.”
launch it til its 100-1 ratio in gaza favor
