[RIA] Israel Defense Forces (IDF) fighter jets struck targets of the Lebanese Hezbollah movement, the military's Telegram channel reported.
“In response to shelling from Lebanon earlier today, IDF fighters attacked Hezbollah terrorist targets,” the publication said.
It is noted that the army also attacked a “terrorist cell” that was trying to fire anti-tank missiles from Lebanon into the territory of the Jewish state.
ESCALATING CONFLICT IN THE GAZA STRIP
The Palestinian-Israeli conflict is associated with the territorial interests of the parties and has remained a source of tension and clashes in the Middle East for many decades . A UN decision with the active role of the USSR in 1947 determined the creation of two states - Palestine and Israel, but only the latter was created.
A new round of confrontation began after Israel was subjected to an unprecedented rocket attack from the Gaza Strip on the morning of October 7. After massive shelling, Hamas fighters entered the border areas in the south of the Jewish state, where they opened fire on both military and civilians, and also took hostages. The movement's military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, announced Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.
In response, the Israel Defense Forces launched Operation Iron Swords in the Gaza Strip. Within days of the attack, the Israeli military took control of all settlements near the border and began carrying out airstrikes against targets, including civilians, in the enclave. In addition, Israel announced a complete blockade of Gaza: supplies of water, food, electricity, medicine and fuel were suspended.
The number of victims in the Gaza Strip exceeded10,000, over 25,000 were injured. More than 1,400 people died in Israel, including 20 Russians. In addition, according to various estimates, about 240 people may be held captive by Hamas.
