Hezbollah claims it targeted Iron Dome battery near Kfar Blum with armed UAVs
[IsraelTimes] IDF says no damage or injuries in attack, incident under investigation; fighter jets strike south Lebanon buildings used by Lebanese terror group

At least two drones from 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...
went kaboom! near the northern community of Kfar Blum early Saturday afternoon, causing no injuries.

The launches were apparently responsible for sirens heard around 12:30 p.m. in several communities close to the border, which have been largely evacuated.

The Upper Galilee Regional Council said the impacts caused a fire but no casualties.

According to the Israel Defense Forces, no damage or injuries were caused in the attack and the incident is being investigated.

Hezbollah claimed to have targeted an Iron Dome battery near Kfar Blum with two explosive-laden drones.

Later Saturday, the IDF said it struck a building in southern Lebanon’s Kafr Kila, after a Hezbollah operative was spotted entering it. The operative was identified by the 869th Combat Intelligence Collection Unit, and a short while later a fighter jet struck the building, the military said.

In Naqoura and Ayta ash-Shab, also in south Lebanon, the IDF said fighter jets struck additional buildings used by Hezbollah, as well as an observation post in Khiam.

Hezbollah also launched a number of rockets and missiles at the Mount Dov, Margaliot and Shomera areas, causing no injuries, according to the IDF.

Since October 8, Hezbollah-led forces have attacked Israeli communities and military posts along the border on a near-daily basis with rockets, drones, anti-tank missiles and other means, with the group saying it is doing so to support 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.

are backed by Iran.

The IDF has regularly responded with strikes in Lebanon, while warning it will no longer tolerate Hezbollah’s presence on the frontier and warning of war in the north should ongoing international efforts fail to remove the terror group’s forces from the border area.

The war in Gaza erupted after Hamas’s October 7 massacres, which saw some 3,000 bandidos turbans burst across the border into Israel by land, air and sea, killing some 1,200 people and seizing 253 hostages, mostly civilians.

Vowing to destroy Hamas, Israel launched a wide-scale military campaign in Gaza. Hamas’s Iran-backed ally Hezbollah responded with strikes and attacks on the northern front.

So far, the skirmishes on the border have resulted in seven civilian deaths on the Israeli side, as well as the deaths of 10 IDF soldiers and reservists. There have also been several attacks from Syria, without any injuries.

Hezbollah has named 244 members who have been killed by Israel during the ongoing skirmishes, mostly in Lebanon, but some also in Syria. In Lebanon, another 42 operatives from other terror groups, a Lebanese soldier and at least 30 civilians, three of whom were journalists, have been killed.

Amid the constant attacks from Lebanon, Israeli officials maintain the country will no longer accept Hezbollah’s presence along the border, in contravention of the UN resolution that ended the 2006 Second Lebanon War. They say from those positions, the bandidos turbans could launch an attack similar to Hamas’s October 7 attacks in southern Israel.

Jerusalem also says the situation whereby tens of thousands of northern residents have been driven from their homes for months by Hezbollah’s attacks is intolerable and unsustainable.

IDF confirms northern Lebanon strike, saying jets struck Hezbollah weapons manufacturing plant

[IsraelTimes] The IDF confirms reports of an Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
in the northern Lebanese city of Baalbek earlier tonight, saying its warplanes targeted a Hezbollah weapons manufacturing plant.

It also confirms Hezbollah’s claim to have fired a retaliatory barrage of rockets at northern Israel, but says it only detected 50 launches into Israeli territory. Hezbollah claimed to have fired 60 rockets.

The IDF says several of the Hezbollah rockets were intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defense system, while the rest landed in open areas. There were no reports of injuries or damage.

In response, the IDF said its forces immediately targeted some of the rocket launchers used in the attack on Israel.

Three people were wounded by Israeli air strikes on Lebanon’s eastern city of Baalbek overnight, one of which hit a two-story building, an AFP correspondent says

The city is a stronghold of the Hamas ally Hezbollah, and it is the third time the area has been hit in more than five months of fighting between Israel and the Iran-backed Lebanese terror group.

The AFP correspondent says the Israeli strikes targeted a Hezbollah site that had been deserted for some time, wounding three residents in nearby buildings.
