It said it acted "in response to the Israeli aggression against the villages of the south and the homes of civilians."
Israeli artillery meanwhile shelled the outskirts of al-Fardees and Rashaya al-Fokhar and warplanes raided the southern border town of Yaroun.
Hezbollah had carried out several attacks on Israeli military positions on the border on Tuesday, in response to a strike on a house in Houla that killed a man, his wife and their son. Hezbollah announced the deaths of the father, Hassan Hussein, and his 25-year-old son, Ali Hussein, "on the road to Jerusalem" -- the phrase used for Hezbollah fighters killed by Israel.
Hezbollah and Israel have traded deadly cross-border fire on a near-daily basis since the Israeli war 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
oppressionand
disproportionate response...
broke out in October.
The fighting has killed at least 302 people in 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..., most of them Hezbollah fighters but also including at least 50 civilians, according to an AFP tally.
In Israel, at least 10 soldiers and seven civilians have been killed.
