| Hizbollah is responding to Israeli airstrikes by firing rockets |
The Iranian-backed Lebanese group Hezbollah says rockets are being fired in response to Israeli airstrikes. The group said rockets were fired at Israeli positions in the disputed Shiva Farms area of the two countries on Friday. The Israeli military says at least 10 rockets have been fired from southern Lebanon. In response, they said rocket launchers were being attacked. This information has been revealed from the report of the British news agency Reuters.
In the last few days, there has been an increase in counter-attacks between Israel and Hezbollah. Israeli warplanes launched an attack in southern Lebanon on Thursday. Israel claims that the operation was launched in response to rocket attacks for the second day in a row from the neighboring country. Israel has claimed that airstrikes are being carried out in areas where there has been rocket attacks and terrorist infrastructure. Hezbollah said in a statement on Friday that rockets fired in response to Israeli airstrikes had exploded in the open.
The group did not report any casualties. The Israeli military claims that most of the rockets were intercepted by its Iron Dome missile defense system. And the rest fell in the open field. They also did not report any casualties. However, warnings of airstrikes were heard in the Upper Galilee area of northern Israel. On the other hand, in response to the rocket attack, Israel has resumed air strikes in southern Lebanon.
