The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have announced in their Telegram channel that they have conducted strikes on Hezbollah infrastructure in Lebanon. The strikes targeted military complexes, military posts, and observation points used by Hezbollah, according to a statement from the IDF.
The IDF stated that these strikes were in response to multiple rocket launches, including anti-tank rockets, from Lebanese territory on Monday.
A video recording of the strikes on Lebanon was attached to the IDF’s message.
Additionally, on October 23, Israeli drones conducted strikes on targets in Lebanon. The IDF stated that these strikes were carried out in response to the activities of terrorist cells.
The IDF had previously conducted strikes on an observation post of the Hezbollah armed group based in Lebanon.
The escalation of the conflict in the Middle East began after an unprecedented attack by Hamas on Israel.
On October 7, Hamas forces launched thousands of rockets into Israeli territory and declared the start of 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 announced that the country was in a state of war.
The Israeli Defense Forces’ response operation, named “Operation Iron Swords,” aims to destroy Hamas. The Israeli Air Force conducted strikes on hundreds of Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip, while the Israeli National Security Council decided to halt the supply of water, food, goods, electricity, and fuel to the sector. On October 13, Israel informed the United Nations that 1.1 million Palestinians had to be evacuated to the south of Gaza within 24 hours in anticipation of a ground operation in Gaza.
Earlier, Lebanon had expressed its reluctance to engage in war with Israel.
