TEHRAN: Hezbollah, the Lebanon-based resistance movement, launched simultaneous retaliatory strikes on Israeli military positions in the northern part of the 1948-occupied territories, escalating concerns about the widening scope of the ongoing conflict beyond Gaza.
According to Lebanon’s Al-Manar television channel, Hezbollah fighters targeted the Al-Dhairah outpost and Al-Jardah checkpoint with guided missiles, as well as an assembly of Israeli soldiers at the newly established Jal Al-Alam site.
The strikes resulted in casualties in the targeted areas, following a series of rocket attacks on Israeli positions in the northern sector of the occupied lands. Israeli forces retaliated by striking Hezbollah targets in Lebanon. The exchange of fire comes a day after Hezbollah injured four Israeli troops with an anti-tank guided missile.
Hezbollah Ready to Join Forces with Hamas
Hezbollah had previously warned of its readiness to join forces with the Palestinian resistance group Hamas and its allies if Israel escalates aggression on Gaza or if foreign military intervention occurs in support of the Israeli regime.
