Several hurt by Hezbollah fire in north as expected truce deal looms
|
[IsraelTimes] Elderly woman seriously hurt in Nahariya, soldier injured at Mount Hermon; army limits gatherings, closes schools in north, with Netanyahu set to convene cabinet to okay ceasefire
Hezbollah rocket and drone attacks on northern Israel seriously injured two elderly people and a soldier, and warplanes carried out strikes on the terror group’s Lebanese strongholds, as international efforts to secure a truce between the Iran-backed terror group and Israel appeared to near completion.
With concerns high over the possibility that fighting could ramp up as a ceasefire deal nears, the Israel Defense Forces Home Front Command issued new restrictions in several areas of northern Israel.
The IDF said Monday evening it was putting communities across the Golan Heights and along the northern frontier under "limited activity" rules, tightening them from "partial activity."
The restrictions bar most schools from opening and also forbid large gatherings in the area.
While near the restive borders with Leb
...an Iranian satrapy until recently 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...
and Syria, the Golan Heights has largely been spared the brunt of rocket fire on northern Israel, though a Hezbollah rocket attack on the Golan town of Majdal Shams in late July killed 12 children.
The changes reflected fears in Israel that Hezbollah will ramp up rocket attacks before a ceasefire comes into effect, as the sides seek to maximize gains before laying down arms.
Israel’s high-level security cabinet was slated to convene later Tuesday to decide on whether to sign off on a 60-day ceasefire halting more than a year of hostilities between Hezbollah and Israel, which flared into all-out war in late September.
Throughout Monday evening and into Tuesday morning, rocket warning sirens blared in Israeli communities near the Lebanon border and the Galilee region as rockets arched from Lebanon into Israel.
A barrage of 10 rockets targeting the coastal city of Nahariya and nearby areas Monday night saw some projectiles and shrapnel impact in inhabited areas.
A 70-year-old woman was hospitalized at death's door following the rocket volley, the Magen David Adom ambulance service said. A man in his 80s was also lightly hurt in the attack. The two were both maimed by shrapnel, medics said.
Several others were treated for acute anxiety.
A video appeared to show a building in the city on fire after being struck by shrapnel.
The IDF says a barrage of 10 rockets was launched from Lebanon at the Western Galilee a short while ago.
Several of the rockets were intercepted and impacts were also identified, the military says.
Early Tuesday morning, the IDF said it downed a drone that crossed into the Golan Heights "from the east," referring to Iraq, where Iran-backed terror groups have launched attacks on Israel from.
Hours later, an IDF soldier was seriously maimed in a Hezbollah drone attack on the Mount Hermon area, the military said, adding that it was investigating the incident.
The servicewoman was taken to a hospital for treatment after a drone launched from Lebanon went kaboom! near soldiers in the Hermon.
In Kiryat Shmona, a home suffered significant damage after being hit by a rocket fired from Lebanon, police and the Fire and Rescue Services said. There were no reports of injuries in that incident.
In Lebanon, the health ministry said Israeli strikes killed at least 31 people across the country on Monday, most of them in the south, though the figures do not differentiate between civilians and combatants.
Airstrikes continued Tuesday, with the IDF warning civilians to stay away from six buildings in Hezbollah’s southern Beirut stronghold where it was thought to be hiding assets, followed by Lebanese reports of strikes there.
The IDF earlier said fighter jets struck 25 sites belonging to the Hezbollah executive council, in southern Lebanon’s Nabatieh, the northeastern city of Baalbek, the Beqaa Valley, Beirut’s southern suburbs, and the outskirts of the Lebanese capital.
Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency earlier reported Israeli strikes on Tyre and Nabatieh after Israel issued evacuation warnings for parts of the main southern cities.
Israel later announced that a senior Hezbollah commander was killed in a recent Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM! ...
in the coastal Lebanese city of Tyre. Ahmed Subhi Hazima, head of operations in Hezbollah’s coastal region of southern Lebanon had advanced numerous attacks against Israel from the western sector of southern Lebanon, including infiltrations and anti-tank missile attacks, the IDF said.
NNA also reported "a dronezap that targeted a residential complex" in a Druze-majority town on the outskirts of Beirut, without prior evacuation calls.
Lebanon’s Druze community follows an offshoot of Shiite Islam, and its heartland around Mount Lebanon has largely been spared in the current hostilities.
The Lebanese education ministry suspended classes in schools, technical institutes, and private higher education institutions in Beirut and a number of surrounding areas, citing "the current dangerous conditions." The ministry has taken similar measures in the past during the fighting.
Also, the IDF confirmed launching evening airstrikes on the Syria-Lebanon border, targeting what it said were routes used by Hezbollah to smuggle Iranian weapons.
Syria’s state news agency SANA said the strikes damaged several bridges in the al-Qusayr area, and maimed two people.
The Israeli military said the strikes were part of efforts against Hezbollah’s Unit 4400, which is tasked with delivering weapons from 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...
and its proxies to Lebanon, via Syria and Iraq.
Israel has carried out airstrikes on Iranian weapons shipments to Hezbollah via Syria since at least 2013, according to foreign sources and occasional details released by military officials.
Israel and Hezbollah last fought a direct war in 2006, but the fragile ceasefire that held calm along the Israel-Lebanon border was shattered on October 8, 2023, as Hezbollah began firing rockets and drones on a near-daily basis over the border in support of allied terror group Hamas
