Wounded and Injured after Israeli Attack on Lebanon
During a Rocket attack on the Golan Heights, twelve people were killed. Israel holds Hezbollah responsible and threatens retaliation. Now, two lives in Lebanon are lost due to an Israeli attack.
According to Lebanese reports, two people were killed in an Israeli attack in Lebanon. The state news agency NNA reported that there were also injured in the drone attack during the night. Among the injured was a minor. They were reportedly on a balcony of a nearby building at the time of the attack.
Initially, it was reported that a car was targeted on a road near the town of Mais al-Jabal, close to the Israeli border. A motorcycle then approached the car and was also attacked. It is unclear whether those killed were members of the Hezbollah militia. The Israeli military has not commented.
Following a rocket attack on the Druze village of Majdal Shams in the Israeli-annexed Golan Heights on Saturday, which killed at least twelve people, the Israeli government is preparing for retaliation. Hezbollah is being held responsible for the attack. The Shia militia denied involvement.
Since the start of the Gaza War, there have been frequent confrontations between the Israeli army and militant groups such as Hezbollah in the Israeli-Lebanese border region. There is concern that the fighting could escalate into a war. Civilian casualties have been reported in both countries. Thousands of residents have fled their homes on both sides of the border. This is the most serious escalation since the 2006 Lebanon War.
- The escalation of conflicts in the Israeli-Lebanon border region, including the recent air raids, is largely influenced by the complex politics between Israel and Hezbollah.
- Air raids by Israel have become a frequent response to acts of host-conflict, such as the Rockets launched by Hezbollah towards Israel, resulting in civilian casualties in cities like Beirut.
- The current conflict between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, marked by air raids and retaliatory attacks, has led to a significant increase in displaced people seeking refuge from the hostilities.
- The intensity of the ongoing Israel-War has brought back memories of past conflicts, like the 2006 Lebanon War, highlighting the need for political solutions to prevent further destruction and loss of life in both Israel and Lebanon.
