The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have reported an explosion in the kibbutz of Hanita on the border with Lebanon. The IDF made the announcement through their Telegram channel. According to the Israeli Ministry of Defense, the IDF is currently responding with artillery fire towards Lebanese territory. In response, Lebanon has opened fire, prompting the IDF to engage tanks in the shelling.
Earlier, three explosions were reported near the Lebanese town of Dahiyeh on the border with Israel. On October 7th, the Hamas movement launched thousands of rockets into Israeli territory, initiating the “Al-Aqsa Flood” operation. Thousands of militants infiltrated Israeli territory, seizing dozens of military vehicles and over a hundred hostages. Against this backdrop, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu declared the country to be in a state of war.
The IDF’s counter-operation has been named “Iron Swords,” with the aim of destroying Hamas. The Israeli Air Force has conducted strikes on hundreds of Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli National Security Council has decided to halt the supply of water, food, goods, electricity, and fuel to the sector. On October 13th, Israel informed the United Nations that 1.1 million Palestinians should be evacuated to the southern part of Gaza within 24 hours ahead of a ground operation in the area.
