Early yesterday morning, Hezbollah fired a barrage of rockets and mortars from Southern Lebanon towards Israeli military positions along the border between the two countries. The group cited the strikes as revenge for the Israel Defence Force’s assassination of Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr last month.
Hezbollah claims it managed to fire 320 rockets and drones at Israel. The IDF asserts that the number is far lower, and responded almost immediately with artillery strikes targeting the launch sites in Lebanon and specific Hezbollah observation posts near the border.
