Lebanon’s Iran-backed Hezbollah said it launched two bombings in northern Israel yesterday in response to Israeli killings outside a hospital in southern Lebanon early in the morning.
Hezbollah-affiliated Hamas and Israel have regularly exchanged fire on the border since an October 7 attack by a group of Palestinians in southern Israel, sparking a war in the Gaza Strip. Hezbollah fighters fired two salvos of “dozens of Katyusha rockets” into northern Israel “in response to the attack by the Israeli enemy which targeted the Martyr Salah Ghandour hospital in Bint Jbeil,” said the group in two subsequent press releases.
The rockets targeted different areas of northern Israel, including Meron and Kiryat Shmona, the group said. The Israeli military said shortly after the sound echoed in the north of the country.
Earlier yesterday, the Lebanese National News Agency (NNA) said that “an enemy drone” shot down “a motorcycle near the Salah Ghandour Hospital in the city of Bint Jbeil”, killing one person and injuring others, without specifying whether they are civilians. . The Islamic Health Committee, affiliated with Lebanon’s powerful Hezbollah militia, runs a hospital in the south of the city.
The management of the company said that one person died and 10 others were injured, four of them seriously. Lebanon’s health ministry condemned “Israel’s barbaric crime” at the hospital, calling it a “war crime” in a statement.
An AFP photographer working at the scene of the bombing saw a black motorcycle near the entrance to the hospital. On Sunday, Israel also struggled with three different areas in southern, Ann, is Anzbollah who fights and two governments and others fight and more.
The Iranians immediately confesses that his soldiers were killed yesterday. In recent weeks, Hezbollah has stepped up cross-border attacks, which it says are supporting Gazans and their Hamas allies, while Israel has moved into Lebanese territory.
The violence has killed at least 441 people in Lebanon, most of them rebels but also 84 civilians, according to an AFP report. Israel said 14 soldiers and 11 civilians were killed on its side.
