Gallant: Hezbollah has fired over 1,000 munitions at Israel since start of war
[IsraelTimes] Defense minister says Iran ramping up attacks, as terrorists launched more rockets, drones, anti-tank missiles from Lebanon on Sunday; IDF responded with strikes killing nearly 100: 74 Hezbollah members, eight Paleostinian terrorists, a number of civilians and a Rooters journalist.

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant told news hounds Sunday that Leb
...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
’s Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group had fired 1,000 munitions at Israel since October 7, warning that Tehran was intensifying its attacks against the Jewish state.

The comments came as Hezbollah launched more rocket and missile attacks and instigated drone infiltrations at northern Israeli communities Sunday, undeterred by the stormy weather, leading Israeli forces to respond against targets belonging to the terror group in Lebanon.

"Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
is the root of hostility and aggression against the State of Israel. The war is multifront, even though its intensity is focused on Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
," Gallant said.

"Since the beginning of the war, Hezbollah has fired more than 1,000 munitions at Israeli targets but suffers far more significant harm. We’re thwarting [missile and rocket] squads and hitting military assets and targets, Hezbollah pays a heavy price every day," he said.

He also said that in the West Bank, "there are many attempts to carry out terrorist attacks against Israelis that are thwarted every day by the IDF and the Shin Bet."

"In recent days, the defense establishment has identified a growing trend of Iran working to intensify attacks by the militias against Israel through its proxies in Iraq, Syria and Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
. We are following, and will know how to act at the appropriate time, place and strength," Gallant added.

There were no injuries in the attacks in northern Israel on Saturday.

The Israel Defense Force said warplanes hit and destroyed Hezbollah infrastructure after 10 mortar shells were fired at the town of Shlomi this morning, and two rockets were fired at the communities of Margaliot and Kfar Giladi later in the day.

The IDF said the projectiles landed in open areas, and that artillery forces shelled the sources of the fire.

The army said targets struck on Sunday included a Hezbollah military compound, an observation post and other infrastructure.

The military also said that air defenses intercepted several "suspicious aerial targets" — apparently drones — that entered Israeli airspace from Lebanon and triggered alerts in Kiryat Shmona and Safed.

An interceptor missile was also fired at a "suspicious target" in northern Israel in the evening, the military said.

Furthermore, Hezbollah said it fired anti-tank missiles at an IDF outpost near the town of Zarit, and at two outposts near Adamit.

The group grabbed credit for the rocket and mortar attacks carried out throughout the day.

The IDF said the projectiles all landed in open areas.

Since Hamas
...the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...
’s assault on Israel on October 7 and during the subsequent war inside Gaza, where Israel seeks to topple the ruling terror group, the Iran-backed Hezbollah has conducted and overseen daily assaults on Israel’s northern border from Lebanon, but has stopped short of launching a full-scale campaign.

Israel, too, has sought to respond strongly to attacks while avoiding actions that would escalate the conflict as it seeks to keep its focus on Gaza.

The persistent skirmishes along the border have resulted in three civilian deaths on the Israeli side, as well as the deaths of six IDF soldiers.

On the Lebanese side, nearly 100 have been killed. The toll includes at least 74 Hezbollah members, eight Paleostinian terrorists, a number of civilians and a Rooters journalist.
