[Regnum] On November 4, militants from the Lebanese Hezbollah party attacked Israel with a powerful new missile that had never been used before, Reuters reported , citing a source.“The group fired a powerful rocket, not yet used in combat, claiming that it hit an Israeli position across the border from the villages of Aita al-Shaab and Rmeish ,” the report said.
The publication also reported that Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) aircraft carried out strikes on Libyan territory. Residents of southern Lebanon called the attacks some of the harshest since the conflict began to escalate on October 7.
Hezbollah continues to shell Israeli territory. Party Secretary General Hassan Nasrullah on November 3, during Friday prayers, announced a real threat of a large-scale war with Israel. He also emphasized that Lebanese militants, by their actions, are constraining the capabilities of the IDF in the Gaza Strip, as they are forcing Israel to keep a third of its army on the border in Lebanon.
On October 31, journalists from The New York Times suggested that Hezbollah would begin a full-fledged war with the IDF only when Hamas was defeated. The Libyan group will have to intervene in this case, since it will not be able to remain on the sidelines, otherwise it will lose its reputation as a vanguard force in the Middle East, the publication noted.
