The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) escalated against Hezbollah on May 1, killing two members of the group in separate drone strikes on southern Lebanon.
The first strike in the town of Mays al-Jabal targeted a member of Hezbollah’s elite Radwan force, the IDF said in a statement, adding that the second strike, in the same village, targeted a member of the group who was carrying out surveillance operations along the border.
Lebanon’s health ministry confirmed the strikes, saying one killed a Lebanese national and wounded two Syrians, and that another person was killed in the other.
Hezbollah accepted a ceasefire proposed by the United States following a costly confrontation with the IDF. The confrontation broke out more than a year earlier as a result of the Israeli war on the group’s ally, the Hamas Movement, in the Gaza Strip.
The ceasefire went into effect on November 27 and was supposed to end all clashes on the Israeli-Lebanese border by February 18. However, the Israeli military continues to launch strikes against Hezbollah. It also maintains troops at five strategic points in southern Lebanon.
The deadly drone strikes came just a day after the AFP reported, citing a security source, that the Lebanese military had dismantled “over 90%” of Hezbollah’s infrastructure in the south of the country in line with the U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreement.
At the start of the week, the IDF launched strikes against an alleged precision missile depot of Hezbollah in the southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital, Beirut.
The recent strikes were likely an attempt to provoke Hezbollah, which has refrained from retaliating to Israeli attacks since the start of the ceasefire. Any response by the group could provide the IDF with a pretext to restart full-on operations in Lebanon.

the kikes have just carried out a drone attack on an aid ship carrying relief supplies to gaza. the ship was in international waters off the coast of malta. the drones were probably launched from italy. of course when the houthis carry out drone attacks on shipping in the red sea, this is an outrageous and totally unacceptable act of terrorism. but don’t expect any outrage from the fake media or our whore politicians over this. they have to please their zio paymasters.
greta thunberg was on board. is there anything lower in god’s creation than a kike? cockroaches and rattlesnakes are quite noble creatures by comparison.
yes there is, it’s god himself. imagine creating all of this and force us to live in his creation. i want to see god on a cross dying.
damn, you gotta word there!
“axis of resistance”….hehehehee
pls drop dead right away, idiot!,
shitfront idiots said that hezbollah had 100,000 missiles aimed at israel…heheheh
many nations in the world might
they have 100.00000 dicks aimed at your fake jews cuntw.
the network of spies the jews have in the m e is formidable and should be dissolved. the double passport system used by the jews and accepted by the western world is another source of spying that is in force and must be stopped! thus e g a jew with a british passport and on the quiet holder of a israeli passport and working as an englishman in the government is by all definition a plausible spy for israel. must be stopped!
we have a new hasbara label . hezbollah now has an elite radwan force ? this is probably anyone that want’s to live in thier israeli occupied home or reporters .
