Israël lanceert nieuwe aanvallen na dodelijke dag in Libanon
September 24, 2024 - Israel and Hezbollah have launched new cross-border attacks a day after the IDF carried out airstrikes against the Iran-backed group, which killed nearly 500 people in Lebanon’s deadliest day in decades.
Israel's military said it hit dozens of Hezbollah targets overnight, a day after carrying out airstrikes against the armed group which Lebanese authorities said killed at least 492 people, including 35 children, and sent tens of thousands fleeing for safety.
Hezbollah said it targeted several Israeli military targets overnight.
After almost a year of war against Hamas in Gaza on its southern border, Israel is shifting its focus to the northern frontier, where Hezbollah has been firing rockets into Israel in support of Hamas, which is also backed by Iran.
