Hezbollah hammers Israeli targets after eight wounded in regime’s attacks on Bekaa

At least eight civilians were wounded in Israeli attacks on Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley on Monday evening.

Tensions between the Israeli regime and Hezbollah have escalated as the Lebanese resistance group targeted Israeli military positions in response to the regime's overnight strikes on Lebanon’s Bekaa region.

Hezbollah launched “intense rocket barrages” at Israeli army positions in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights as well as other targets in the upper Galilee region.

In a statement, the Lebanese group says it targeted the headquarters of the Israeli army’s Golan 210th Division in the Nafah barracks, as well as the headquarters of the artillery and armored regiments of the 210th Division in the Yarden barracks.

On Monday night, Israeli airstrikes targeted Hezbollah’s weapons storage sites in Lebanon’s eastern Bekaa Valley and several areas of southern Lebanon.

According to Lebanon’s health ministry, eight civilians, including six Lebanese nationals and two Syrian children were injured.

Footage from the location captured a massive blaze and a series of explosions erupting after the initial strike.

At least three Israeli airstrikes hit towns in Lebanon’s Baalbek District on Monday, Lebanese state media reported.

Moreover, the Israeli regime claimed its fighter jets destroyed Hezbollah rocket launchers in Al Mansouri and Taybeh in southern Lebanon.

The Israeli Monday strikes occurred hours after Hezbollah carried out fresh retaliatory airstrikes against Israeli forces deployed to the northern part of the occupied Palestinian territories, killing and injuring a number of the regime's troopers.

The movement’s Monday statement likewise noted that the latest retaliation had also taken place “in support of our steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and in support of their valiant and honorable resistance.”

For nearly three weeks now, the region has been on high alert for a significant surge in violence following Israel’s assassination of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran and Hezbollah’s military chief, Fuad Shukr, prompting vows of retaliation from both Iran and Hezbollah.

Lebanon has filed a new complaint with the UN Security Council (UNSC) against the Israeli regime’s repeated violations of the country.

The complaint noted that Israel is terrorizing all civilians and spreading panic among them, which particularly affects the most vulnerable segments of society, such as children.

The Israeli regime has been conducting near-daily attacks against southern Lebanon since October 7, when it launched a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.

At least 622 people in Lebanon have been killed since the start of the clashes last year, reports say.
