In a retaliatory move, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) launched an attack on a Hezbollah military target in Lebanon on Saturday, October 28. This action was taken in response to rocket launches by Hezbollah into Israeli territory on Friday, October 27, as confirmed by the army’s press office.
According to the statement, “Hezbollah attempted to launch rockets into Israeli territory on Friday… The rockets fell in Syria.”
The IDF fighter jet struck the Hezbollah military target in Lebanon during the night as a response to the previous day’s rocket attacks.
