Hezbollah launched on September 11 multiple salvos of rockets at several sites of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) near Lebanon’s border.
In separate statements, the group said that its fighters fired Katyusha rockets at an artillery position in the area of al-Zaoura and the newly-established headquarters of the 146th Division at the Abiriem base. It also announced that it shelled the Zabdin barracks and the Rwayset al-Qarn site.
Furthermore, Hezbollah fighters struck a checkpoint in the settlement of Dan, targeted a fortified point near the site of Metula and struck a gathering of Israeli troops close to the al-Rahib site, according to the group.
The attacks were carried out in support of the Palestinian people and resistance in the Gaza Strip as well as in response to recent Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon, Hezbollah noted in its statement.
From its site, the IDF admitted that a reservist soldier was seriously wounded in a missile attack on Dan. It also said that more than 60 rockets were launched from Lebanon towards the Upper Galilee region. No additional casualties were reported however.
The IDF responded to the Hezbollah attack by launching another wave of strikes against southern Lebanon, the heartland of the group.
In the town of Mays al-Jabal, a drone strike hit a motorcycle, killing a Hezbollah fighter and wounding another. Other strikes destroyed two multiple rocket launchers of the group in the towns of Marimin and Rashaya al-Foukhar, according to the IDF.
Hezbollah and its allies began launching attacks against the IDF in support of Gaza right after the outbreak of the Israeli war on the Strip last October.
So far, the confrontation has resulted in 26 civilian deaths in Israel and the occupied Golan as well as the deaths of at least 20 soldiers and security officers. On the Lebanese side, more than 870 people have been killed, including 436 fighters of Hezbollah and over 150 civilians.
