Hezbollah claims several cross-border attacks on Israel
Feb 19, 2024
Beirut [Lebanon], February 19: The Lebanese armed group Hezbollah has said it launched seven separate military operations in southern Israel.
Hezbollah said the attacks included targeting a building where Israeli troops had gathered in Yir'on on the eastern side of the border.
It also claimed two attacks against Israeli positions in the disputed Shebaa Farms, which Lebanon claims as its own.
Earlier, Hezbollah's leader Hassan Nasrallah said that Israel will pay a price "in blood" for killing Lebanese civilians.
Israeli air raids on Wednesday killed at least 10 civilians, including five children, in southern Lebanon. Three Hezbollah fighters were also killed. Hezbollah and Israel have been exchanging fire for months.
Israeli officials have promised to push Hezbollah off the country's northern borders, while the Iran-allied group says its attacks on Israel will stop when the war on Gaza ends.
