In early hours of August 6th, rockets were fired from Lebanon towards Israel. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) are now responding with artillery rounds, targeting the launch sites in Southern Lebanon.
According to Israeli media, 20 rockets were launched, 10 of them were reportedly intercepted. Some rockets passed the Iron Dome, targeting inhabited areas.
Hezbollah statement:
At 11:15 a.m. this Friday, and in response to the Israeli air raids on open lands in the Al-Jarmaq and Al-Shawakir areas last Thursday night, the groups of the martyr Ali Kamel Mohsen and the martyr Muhammad Qasim Tahan in the Islamic Resistance bombed open lands in the occupied Shebaa Farms with dozens of 122 mm rockets.
The IDF command reported that air defense sirens went off in the village of Ein Kiniya in the Golan Heights and near the village of Snir.
No injuries or damage were reported.

The rocket attack is taking place amid a new round of escalation between Israel and Lebanon.
Israeli territory was targeted in response to air strikes that were carried out by Israeli Air Force on Lebanon’s South Governorate, the heartland of Hezbollah, on August 5.
A day earlier, on August 4, another rocket attack targeted Israeli territory. Three rockets were launched from South Lebanon, with one failing midway and two landing in Israeli territory. Even without reaching any infrastructure, rockets are dangerous because they are causing large fires.
It seems that the current round of escalation is a pre-planned action.
The recent Israeli air strikes were of an unusually large scale and were carried out on Thursday. The military and political leadership in Tel Aviv preview a fast response from the Lebanese territory the next day, on Friday. The military actions cannot go unnoticed by the Muslim community of Lebanon. The imams will certainly light them up during the Friday prayer (صَلَاة ٱلْجُمُعَة, Ṣalāt al-Jumuʿah), which will further inflame hatred towards Israel among the population.
Now Israel is launching another attack on Lebanon, new air strikes should be expected. Escalation is becoming inevitable. It is likely that the ‘enemy aggression’ will be used by the Israeli military-political leadership to justify the increase in military actions against Lebanon, up to the new military intervention.
Meanwhile, Lebanon is torn apart by internal conflicts amid a severe economic crisis. The popularity of Hezbollah’s ideology is consistently growing.
I have never seen an anti-air missile to be fired and to intercept any kind of missile that have explosive in it, to blast each other and not to have any fireball or black smoke, all these iron domes missiles uplon alleged impact always are white, which means are just empty poxes which they fly few km and they are been just zapped to explode by whoever launching them in the first place. Why don’t the zionists present radar evidence to the world to see that was REAL incoming missiles were really coming to them, or all this is just a pretext to strike Lebanon, like oh Hezbollah attacked us, were forced to defend our self, and we will defend ourself blah blah.
Bla bla bla. F**ck you.
Hezbollah begins with it’s smallest, oldest rounds first … cheap, and smart.
Can’t wait til they pull out the big guns …
Not even sure that was Hezbollah,could have been some other small group.
It is the PFLP of late great Dr. George Habash delivering a message with WWII vintage grads just for effect. The panicked Zioncunts fired over 37 iron Dud costing millions and could not hit a single one. Very embarrassing.
First round was not Hezbollah, however they have claimed ownership of the most recent strike in retaliation for air strikes.
Ignorant troll.
Go back to the cave you crawled out of.
Shouldn’t you be sucking on some rabbi’s kosher salami?
So now we have a riddle. How does the US/Israel/UK execute “retaliation” without jeopardizing Israel. Which side has a more pressing need to appear strong? Is LIFO one of the rules? lol Seems that both parity or disparity scenarios can lead to war. One is just easier.
Like you did in 2006 you fascist gangster LOL!!
I’m fully with the Resistance, but shooting Israel from the middle of a city, which is not a Hezbollah turf (this is a city where the majority of the population are Druze), that is not right. Especially whatever they did wasn’t strategic or asymmetrical. They should change their tactics here, its playing against them internally in Lebanon.
On the other hand, Israeli’s are a bunch of losers, shooting down cheap rockets with with millions of dollars Iron Dome is hilarious.
Recommendations to my dear fellows who appreciate the hard work of the resistance, there is no need to respond to the Wahabi & USraeli people on these threads, let them bark as much as they want.
These people might Say Hezbollah is nothing without Iran, or that Syria is nothing without Russia, but Israel is nothing without the US, UK and their subordinates. So their time will come. Patience my friends.
We forgive you dear trolls! As Jesus Christ said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And I add, they will only know when they will be facing God, and by then, its too late lol
Another moron who doesn’t understand anything about Lebanon, those “residents in southern Lebanon” are called Druze buddy, you might want to look them up and why Hezbollah wants them “out”.
Also, Zion, you are. Ugly and moronic Zion.
Lebanon should target the nuclear reactor in occupied Palestine. That will teach the fascist jews a lesson.
I like walking my dog in the evenings with the stars out. The ocean makes a noise that fills my senses. Ice cream topped marshmallows are my favorite treat. Do you breathe fire with noise?
Iron Dome : Castello di tangenti , al massimo può abbattere piccioni
